U.S. horses are free from slaughter in this country, since the closure of the last 2 slaughterhouses, but they are now being barbarically slaughtered in Mexico. Since a ban to transport live horses from the U.S. to Canada and Mexico for the purpose of slaughter is still pending, our horses are moving rapidly over the borders. It is imperative for U.S. citizens to lobby for enactment of the AHSPA, and support efforts in border states to stop transport of slaughter-bound equines.

Be it an American or Mexican horse, what matters is the sadistic method used to slaughter these intelligent animals. A brief description of the horse slaughter: "The American mare swung her head frantically when the door to the kill box shut, trapping her inside. A worker jabbed her in the back with a small knife seven, eight, nine times. Eyes wild, she lowered her head and raised it as the blade punctured her body around the withers, again and again. At the 10th jab, she fell to the floor of this Mexican slaughterhouse, bloodied and paralyzed but not yet dead. She would lie there two minutes before being hoisted upside down from a chained rear leg so her throat could be slit and she could bleed to death. The mare was one of nearly 30,000 American horses shipped to Mexican processing plants this year" Learn more>>> http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5175642.html

This group will help put an end to these horrific killings. Our targets are: Mexican authorities to stop the barbarianim. The European Parliament to intervene with the importation of these tortured animals for food, and the US Congress to enact laws to stop live horse transportation for slaughter in Mexico. We will also be working to support organizations dedicated to horse slaughter issues, cooperating with them whenever possible, as well as taking actions on our own.
