Action Needed Send a letter to your senators now and urge them to support the 
Horse Slaughter Prevention Act! Take Action Now!


S. 1915, the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act, would prohibit the 
transport, moving, delivering, receiving, possessing, purchasing, selling, or 
donation of any horse to be slaughtered for human consumption.  Earlier this 
year, H.R. 503 was introduced in the House of Representatives.  Now a Senate 
companion bill, S. 1915, has been introduced.

Americans do not eat horse meat.  However, thousands of horses are slaughtered 
every year to satisfy a market for horsemeat overseas.  Horses are slaughtered 
in the United States to be served on dinner plates in countries like France, 
Belgium, and Japan.

Additionally, the transport of horses to slaughter houses is often extremely 
inhumane.  Many horses are injured even before reaching the slaughter plant due 
to overcrowded conditions during transport.  Some are shipped for more than 24 
hours at a time without food, water, or rest.  In addition, the methods used to 
slaughter these horses once they arrive at the plant can be exceptionally 
inhumane.  The horses are often forced to endure repeated stuns or blows and 
often times remain conscious during their slaughter.

S. 1915 would put an end to this cruel and inhumane practice by permanently 
prohibiting horse slaughter for human consumption in the U.S.  Contact your 
senators now and urge them to support and cosponsor S. 1915!  Take action now!
