Sample Letter HR 503
|
Dear Congress (man/woman) (name)::
I write to call your attention to the long overdue American Horse
Slaughter Prevention Act, HR 503, by the Honorable Ed Whitfield and a
broad spectrum of other House members.
Please contact Congressman Whitfield's staff and become a cosponsor
without delay. I am joined by many people I know, and thousands from
(name your state) who want to see this senseless, brutal slaughter
feeding only the wealthy of France, Belgium, Germany and Japan (where
they eat horses raw in sushi) our faithful, noble horses and ponies end now.
There are many sound alternatives to this killing. Some horses surely
will need to be humanely euthanized (not to be confused with the very
violent and terrifying slaughter), many stolen horses can be returned to
their rightful and lawful owners and still others can be given new
lives--many thousands killed yearly are young, healthy and can lead
useful lives. These alternatives include: donating or leasing to: an
equine rescue organization, police or park department, private riding
schools, therapeutic/Equine Assisted Psychotherapy riding program;
Prison inmate training programs, vet schools, Pony Clubs, private sale
or leasing to individuals with proper references to mention just a few.
The history of the United States would be quite different if there were
no horses in America. Horses, ponies, donkeys, burros and mules have
played crucial roles and long been a symbol of America, our precious
freedom and the west. Important roles horses an other equines have and
do play include them acting as farm labor, transporter, soldier, law
enforcement mount, pioneer, pack animal, Olympic partner, handicapped
riding teacher, entertainer, status symbol, symbol of the west, income
producer, trusted companion and pet
One role the horse has never played in the US is that of dinner; they
have never been raised for human consumption and eating horse meat is
abhorrent to most and in some states (TX, CA and IL eating or selling
horsemeat is illegal). Slaughtering America's horses does not benefit
Americans, it benefits two wealthy foreign families who own the three
remaining plants that kill over 75,000 of our devoted horses and ponies
yearly in the United States where once dead, their meat is flown to Europe.
I ask now for you to support a timely and well thought out bill, the
American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act. I await your reply about
cosponsoring this bill eagerly.
With hope and thanks,
Sincerely,
add your name, address and email here. |
