It is not enough that the three horse slaughterhouses in the United States have been closed. Now we must further act by stopping the transportation of American horses to Canada and Mexico to be slaughtered there for human consumption in other parts of the world. We Americans do not eat horses and we should not send them out of our country to be butchered and eaten by others.



The American public has overwhelmingly opposed the slaughter of America's horses for human consumption and now the courts have declared horse slaughter to be illegal. While horses will no longer be butchered in the U.S. they can be hauled under appalling conditions to a similarly brutal death in plants across the U.S. border. Congress must pass federal legislation to extend the protections to all horses and to send a clear message to those few who profit from this barbaric trade.



Please sign this petition to support Senate Bill S. 311 - The bill to amend the Horse Protection Act to prohibit the shipping, transporting, moving, delivering, receiving, possessing, purchasing, selling, or donation of horses and other equines to be slaughtered for human consumption, and for other purposes.



Let's get this business of horse butchering over with once and for all! Thank you for helping to save the lives of America's heritage, the horse!
