Upcoming bill in the senate to ban horse slaughter-- please help

From HSUS

Dear XXX,

Thanks to the generosity and dedication of volunteers and supporters, The Humane Society of the United States has been able to launch a large-scale relief and rescue operation in response to Hurricane Katrina. While much of the nation’s focus is on Katrina, other national issues continue to impact animals. Congress is now back in session, and with your help we hope to ensure the passage of legislation to end the slaughter of horses.

As soon as this week, the U.S. Senate will consider an amendment to ban horse slaughter. We must be ready to save tens of thousands of American horses from slaughter this year. Please contact your two U.S. Senators at 202-224-3121 and ask them to support the Ensign-Byrd Agriculture Appropriations Amendment to ban horse slaughter. Also, watch your email on Monday for more information.

Thank you for all you do on behalf of animals and I hope you’ll join us for a party with a purpose on Sunday, September 18!

Sincerely,

Mike Markarian
President
Humane Society Legislative Fund

1. Woo! Michelle and I are proud to join you.

We recently bought a 2 year old Mustang that had been bred on a farm. It's the sweetest thing imaginable and the breed is culturally significant in the states. I'm with you!

2. I realise the focus is on Katrina, as well it should, but the vote is

coming up this next week. Hence the post.

(Lucky you with a mustang!!)
