Take Action to Put a Permanent End to Horse Slaughter:
Contact Your Members of Congress TODAY!

As you may know, Congress recently passed a temporary ban on horse
slaughter which is now threatened by officials at the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA). The USDA, with its ties to the livestock industry,
says it will not implement this Congressional mandate. Please contact
your Senators and Representative and urge them to cosponsor the American
Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (S. 1915/H.R. 503) to permanently end the
slaughter of our horses for human consumption abroad.

Background

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

Last year, more than 90,000 American horses were either killed in one
of three foreign-owned slaughterhouses in the United States or shipped
to Canada or Mexico for slaughter. Every year, our thoroughbreds, show
horses, mustangs, carriage horses, and family ponies are shipped in
inhumane conditions and butchered, despite the special place these animals
hold in American history. Horses helped settle this country. For 400
years, they were a primary means of transport and to this day they are
still beloved companions to millions.

What You Can Do

Please call and email your two U.S. Senators and Representative today
and urge them to become co-sponsors of the “American Horse Slaughter
Prevention Act” (S.1915/H.R. 503). You can reach your members of Congress
by calling the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121. If you’re not sure
who your lawmakers are visit http://www.senate.gov/ and
http://www.house.gov.

For more information or if you have any questions contact
info@api4animals.org.

Thank you for speaking out for the horses!

Yes we do! In fact even though I'm a vegetarian I do make exceptions for dogs. I love me some roasted dog. That's why I went and adopted one from the pound about 3 years ago. She's been hanging out at my house all this time so I can fatten her up for the prime meal! My mouth just waters with hunger every moment I look at my dog. In fact I just gave her a bath to clean her coat. We have their skin for desert. I think I'm going to skin up my dog tonight and slap her on the grill with some terryaki marinade now that you mentioned it. You want some? I usually eat around 5PM..

Well...My parents used to smoke fish outside on our deck. It would stink up the whole neighborhood. That shit stunk so bad! I never ate it! All the kids in my neighborhood (who were all the same age as I was) would say that we were cooking cats. So all the kids in my school said I ate cats. Pretty hard thing to get over since I was one of only 2 asian kids in my school and I did think that the other Asian kid who was Chinese really ate cats and dogs... LOL!!! ).
