I signed it! The practice of slaughtering and exporting American horses for food in foreign countries is abominable. Horses are historical icons that helped shape America, companions, friends and pets to the American people. Americans would never allow our dogs and cats to be cruelly butchered and eaten, and it is the industry's best kept secret that this is what is happening to our horses. I, along with many others, dedicate our free time to saving horses from this fate and helping them find new homes. With the passing of this law, our attentions can be turned to educating the public on horse care and helping to create low-cost vet care and euthanasia options for those in financial need. The public has spoken again and again on this issue and it is time the lawmakers take note and listen to the American people, and not to foreign-owned slaughterhouses. Sincerely, Jaime Taft www.safehorses.org |
