On Thursday, April 26th, the U.S. House of Representatives passed HR 249 by a landslide victory of 277 — 137!
This bill prohibits the sale or slaughter of America's wild horses, reversing the devastating "Burns rider" from 2004 that led to the slaughter of 41 wild horses and threatened thousands more. We are very appreciative of Congressman Nick Rahall (D-WV) for introducing this bill, and for his unwavering dedication to getting it through Congress. Now we have to get this legislation through the Senate.
S 311, The American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act, passed the Senate Commerce Committee on Wednesday and awaits scheduling for a full Senate vote. The House version, HR 503, has yet to be heard in the House Commerce Committee. If your Representative voted in favor of HR 249, please thank him or her and urge them to support HR 503. You can find out how your Rep voted by viewing the Roll Call tally at http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2007/roll269.xml.
