This bipartisan language had been included in every Agriculture Appropriations bill since 2005, until three legislators quietly removed it behind closed doors late last year. Without this important provision, foreign-owned companies will be able to reestablish horse slaughter in the United States at the expense of taxpayers, food safety, and the welfare of horses. In fact, representatives of such companies are already making rounds in the Midwest looking for a plant location.

Dear Humanitarian:
Washington, D.C. – April 25, 2012 – The Seraphim12 Foundation has been working diligently on their letter writing campaign, as well as their most recent venture – joining the “Horses on the Hill” event. The event has brought celebrities, school children and citizen advocates from across the nation to join Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., sponsor of the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (H.R. 2966 / S. 1176) at the Russell Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C. The event is co-sponsored by the Animal Welfare Institute, the ASPCA (the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), and The Humane Society of the United States.
We have a right to change the horses’ destiny. Join us in our letter writing campaign to ban horse slaughter!
