Petition to Stop USA Horse Slaughter

 

Don’t slaughter me!  (Photo © Cat Kindsfather, all rights reserved.)

“America’s wild horses are particularly vulnerable to slaughter.  They live in remote regions where they can be rounded up and sold by thieves to slaughter,” explains Anne Novak, Executive Director of Protect Mustangs. “They aren’t filled with chemicals like domestic horses so their meat could be in high demand abroad. There isn’t enough manpower in the BLM to prevent thieves from taking advantage of plants opening in the West. We must stop horse slaughter.”

Protect Mustangs is petitioning President Barack Obama and Congress to pass the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act of 2011, S.B. 1176/H.R. 2966—to make sure all horses in America are treated humanely and not slaughtered.”

  1. The horses need our voices, they are the 99%, not us! More than 70% of Americans opposed the horse slaughter, it was WRONG to lift the ban. Please let’s stay united for the horses and protect them from cruel slaughter and round-ups!

  2. Culling mustangs for slaughter is not an acceptable way to achieve wild herd management. Thanks for protecting our wild horses, a part of our heritage.

  3. Dear President Obama: I am amazed and disgusted that it is again legal to slaughter horses for consumption. How can this be allowed? Wild Horse Annie spent her entire life protecting the wild mustangs in Nevada from this fate. Now that she’s gone, I wondered how long it would take for that protection to be reversed. It didn’t take long! Please reverse allowing wild horses to be killed and their meat sold for consumption, either in the US or overseas. UNACCEPTABLE!

  4. I may not own any horses but the thought of CONSUMING horse meat, let alone to think of killing even just one horse is a deeply painful thought. It is just like murdering someone we could consider a very DEAR FRIEND. Through centuries, humans have relied on horses for more than a few ways to help us get to what, where and who we are today. Why kill? why consume HORSES that were and still are our fundamental needs in life? PLEASE, HAVE A HEART! God is watching!!

  5. Listen very carefully Mr. Obama and members of Congress. Us horse lovers really don’t appreciate the sneaky underhanded way you snuck in this thing about slaughtering horses for human consumption!!!

  6. The wild mustangs of our country have been here for generations and generations and they have been apart of our history for a very long time. Please protest all the wild horses from slaughter so this part of history we can remember and tell and tell our (human) generations and others how important they have been for our country and history. Many people dont realize how important horses our to our lives, they are apart of history in the wild, entertainment in rodeos and eventing, so why would anybody send them to slaughter if they are still perfectly good horses??

  7. I am really worried about the wild mustangs in pens getting slaughtered when they have slaughter plants open here in the USA> Please everyone please call your representatives and ask them to pass SB1176 and HR2966 that will ban slaughter for good here in the USA.. Remember we are the only voices the horses have and we have to speak up load and clear. NO SLAUGHTER HERE ON US SOIL OF HORSES IT IS INHUMANE AND CRUEL AND THEY ARE OUR HERITAGE BEEN HERE FOR US WHEN WE NEEDED TRANSPORTATION WHEN THERE WERE NO CARS. PLEASE BE THEIR VOICES AND SAVE THEM FROM HELL.

  8. please don’t slaughter these majestic animals. It is wrong to do and Mr. Obama you are wrong to be signing that it would be okay. What next is it going to be okay to do to dogs and cats. I love horses and hope that no one decides it is okay to consume this beautiful animals.

  9. I am signing this petition to save our horses from the most inhumane treatment ever…the slaughter houses! Please contact your representative and beg them to pass SB1176 and HR2966 that will ban slaughter for good here in the USA. We are their only hope…

  10. I am an Canadian and I think that you need to just leave the Mustangs alone they should be classified as an historic animal and be protected for life.

  11. Killing horses is unacceptable – it is DEAD WRONG! They are killing Gods most WONDERFUL animal – what a SHAME and DISGRACE – it must STOP!

  12. S’il vous plait arrêtez de faire du mal aux animaux, ne soyez pas aussi cruel que ça, ayez pitié!!!

  13. It is our duty to protect the wild horses and burros. Without their help we would be no where! WE must show the simple and honest gratitude to NOT BE GREEDY white man and stomp on everything sacred just because we can get rich from it. MONEY is not everything…in fact money seems to destroy all that is good in people…

    by law – we are to PROTECT them, not torture them, not rob them of their freedoms (something we both hold dear and its one of the reasons people love horses), not to rip their families apart, not to terrorize them to the point of death – exhaustion – abortion/miscarriage – and panics that break backs and necks – and CERTAINLY not to send to slaughter…

    has this country lost all scruples, morals and consciousness? really? i am seriously asking?

  14. Horses ARE NOT FOOD! Look into a horse’s eyes, talk to a horse, touch a horse–they are intelligent animals that have been trained to HELP humans throughout the history of humans. They can live 30 years and they bond with people. No other livestock has the history or abilities of horses.

  15. Mr. President… surely you realize these animals should be protected. Apparently, they are being slaughtered on your watch. It needs to STOP!

  16. We need to stop horse slaughter. It is so cruel what humans do to horses in the process. Horses, in the process, have to spend 30 hours in a trailer packed with other horses, without any food, water, or rest. Then, they are shot in the head. They are then hung by their hooves and their throats are slit. This is cruel, and we HAVE to work together in order to stop it!!!

  17. We not only need to ban horse slaughter here in the US again, but this time around ban the transport of any horse out of the country for slaughter. For the few years this was against the law, horses were transported to Mexico and Canada for slaughter. Nothing really changed regarding numbers of horses slaughtered, except the horses took a road trip and were slaughtered in even more horrific conditions. We have got to stop this shameful treatment of horses.

  18. And When All The Horses Are Gone All The Animals Are Gone Then What Soylent Green!!!! STOP THIS INSANITY!!!!!!! And People, Animal Lovers ……… If This Needless Slaughtering Takes Place Vote Out The Heartless Politicians In Office!!!!
