John,

This week, Animal Wellness Action and the Center for a Humane Economy, in partnership with Animals' Angels, released a comprehensive national investigation into trafficking of horses and other equines for slaughter for human consumption.

Our report shows that horse slaughter is an economically negligible industry, but still horrifying in the mistreatment it delivers. Americans don't eat horses, and don't want them treated this way.

John, if it's wrong to slaughter American horses in Illinois or Texas, it's wrong to slaughter them in Alberta or over the border in Mexico.

Will you make a contribution to the Center for a Humane Economy today so we can keep a spotlight on this cruel practice and put an end to horse slaughter? [[link removed]]

As the Congress tees up the Farm bill, we want to alert you to our findings and to urge you to join us in extending the U.S. ban on horse slaughter to include a prohibition on live exports to Canada and Mexico.

You can read the full report here. [[link removed]] or check out the key takeaways below:
Key findings and take-aways: *
There
has
been
an
enormous
decline
in
the
number
of
American
horses
butchered
for
meat
—
from
350,000
horses
sold
for
slaughter
in
1990
to
150,000
in
2010
to
20,000
today.
*
*
The
near
collapse
of
the
enterprise
of
horse
slaughter
happened
because
major
foreign
markets
dramatically
scaled
back
purchases
because
of
residues
of
drugs
in
the
meat.
*
*
No
longer
can
the
excuse
be
honestly
presented
that
horse
slaughter
is
a
needed
outlet
for
unwanted
horses.
The
number
of
American
horses
slaughtered
annually
has
declined
by
more
than
90
percent
since
1990
and
by
75
percent
since
2010.
There's
been
no
uptick
in
abandonment
or
cruelty
tracked
by
animal
welfare
groups
during
those
periods.
*
*
Our
report
shows
that
the
mistreatment
of
the
animals
could
hardly
be
worse.
Injured
animals
never
get
treatment,
they
slip
on
manure-
and
urine-soaked
floors
on
transport
trucks
and
fall
and
get
trampled,
they
are
subjected
to
temperatures
of
minus
30
Fahrenheit
in
unprotected
holding
pens
in
Canada.
*
*
Contagious
diseases,
such
as
Strangles,
fester
at
slaughter
holding
facilities
are
breeding
grounds
for
contagious
diseases.
As
explained
in
our
report,
one
kill
buyer
in
Colorado
illegally
moved
sick
horses
from
his
pens
in
Colorado
and
exposed
horses
throughout
the
West
to
this
contagious
disease.
