Today is the National Call-In Day for Horses!

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

In an ongoing effort to end Horse Slaughter, the Humane Society of the United States is asking animal advocates to call into their representatives to co-sponsor H.R. 503/S.727, to end the slaughter of American horses for human consumption and prohibit their export for slaughter in other countries.

The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act (H.R. 503/S. 727) will prohibit the sale and transport of American horses to be barbarically slaughtered for human consumption, including horses being shipped to Mexico and Canada.

I want to encourage Pets911.com visitors to support this call to action.  Check to see if your federal legislators are already signed on to the The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act.  Representatives (H.R. 503) | Senators (S. 727)

If they are not, please call and urge your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators to co-sponsor H.R. 503/S.727.

You can reach your legislators by calling the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121, or click here to look up your legislators and the office phone numbers.
