107 hilary thomasIt is time to end the slaughter and transportation of our horses to Mexico and Canada. Why does Congress keep listening to the voices of those involved in this industry? Yes, you quessed it that dirty little word GREED. It is time for Congress to listen to the American public who want an end to this barbaric industry. We do not want our horses to go to fill the dinner plates of the Japanese and Europeans. Slaughter is not a humane death for our horses. We do not send our dogs and cats to slaughter so why send our horses. Please pass the Anti Horse Slaughter Bills S311 and HR 503.

116 Julie ZiekThis is no-brainer legislation. There is nothing humane about the process and owners and breeders who use slaughter as a method of disposal should be held accountable. It is each individual's responsibility to humanely euthanize or find a good home to a horse who, after giving his/her all for the owner, is no longer useful or productive to the owner. Responsibility - time to bring that back into the picture in this country.
117 kathleen dawsonThe inhumane transportation, treatment and slaughter has got to stop ----- our nations horses deserve so much more than the inhumane treatment that are given --- and it doesn't stop there --- all inhumane treatment of all our animals must stop - Let's have Congress make a huge ethical and humane statement - PASS S311/HR503.

119 Nanette LaRochelleThis bill needs to pass. Period. The practice of horse slaughter, that are regularly taking place, are horrific. I will not even contemplate selling my horses, for fear of any of them eventually ending up in an auction to be bid on by the killers. No horse deserves that fate. I find it completely unacceptable, and as a citizen of this country support this bill and want to see it passed.
120 Aleta PahlSlaughter is just legalized brutality to the animal that has done more for human beings on this planet throughout history than any other species. History was made on the backs of horses.

Ferdinand And Excellor Both Champions Are In Heaven Due To Slaughter, Ferdinand, 1986 Kentucky Derby Winner. President Theodore Roosevelt Believed In Protecting The Animals. To Honor God Is Honoring God's Horses.

130 Jeanette CavalierHorseslaughter is horrific and barbaric.....please SAVE OUR AMERICAN HORSES. Make horseslaughter "History in 2208".
131 Sylvia KentWe cannot allow the horse slaughter practice to continue. So many people are not even aware of it and will be outraged when they are informed. The horse community must first stop the slaughter business and then take steps to regulate irresponsible breeding. The measure of human beings is how they treat others AND their animals.
132 Lori CharneyPlease End Horse Slaughter, just because they can't talk with a voice such as ours, doesn't mean that they don't have feelings & families that care! This is just one of Life's Ugliest Truths.

145 Lynn KnightPLEASE, think with your heart. Inhumane treatment of any animal is sad and needs to be stopped. Please pass this bill. Thank you.

147 Diane McCrackenWe need this bill passed ASAP, before any more horses have to suffer for other countries to make money!
148 AnonymousThis abhorrent practice has to end. As I always teach my students, put yourself in someone else's shoes. In this case, put yourself in the horses' shoes. You know suffering and pain yourself, don't think that these animals feel any differently than we do. If you saw the look of fear in their eyes, ANY HUMANE BEING would be mortified, just as these innocent animals are...mortified. PLEASE, PLEASE HAVE COMPASSION AND VOTE FOR AND SUPPORT THE HORSE SLAUGHTER PREVENTION ACT!!!!! I pray to God this prayer daily. Please find your compassion. There are many, many other ways to work with horse overpopulation. if I really loved my horses as he is supposed to have, I would much prefer they were mercifully shot in the familiar settings of their home than they were hauled for days packed in trucks and then stabbed until their spinal cords were severed, only to be hoisted by a hind leg and butchered fully conscious! If those of us who want this barbaric cruelty to end are “mindless zealots,” then what are the correct words to describe someone who distorts reality like a pretzel to defend the indefensible? I can’t think of any fit to print.
