make it illegal to transport horses over foreign borders for slaughter.

Created by O.K. on April 10, 2015

If you would not kill another person, why would you kill a horse? Horses have helped us develop to become the people we are today. They have served us in many ways such as transportation, and the US Postal Service, but NOT as meat. Killing innocent animals is cruelty. Foreign countries enjoy the meat that WE provide. US horses are sent to other countries, including Mexico and Canada, where they are stabbed multiple times in the neck, feeling everything when they bleed and suffocate to death. The horses are transported in cattle cars, which are way too small. So, in this case the horses are often injured. The "care" handlers break many laws and abuse the horses before death. Also, horse meat is bad because the drugs they received in their lives affect the meat. We are the horses voice.
