I just received this wonderful information from HSUS NRRO. As you may know I live in Montana and have been emailing senators and representatives for over two years on this issue.

This just came in:

U.S. House Votes to Take Horses Off the Menu

This is wonderful news. However, it will only ban slaughter temporarily, for one year. Please ask your legislators to pass the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act, which will permanently ban horse slaughter and transportation for slaughter.
