- United States of America
Texas House Bill 1324 introduced by Rep. Betty Brown (R-Kaufman) has passed the House vote and, if passed in the Texas Senate, will make legal the slaughter of horses for human consumption in foreign countries.
There are two slaughterhouses in Texas: The Beltex in Fort Worth is owned by a Belgium company and the Dallas Crown in Kaufman, by a French company. All profits from horse slaughter in Texas go to those companies.
In 2002 over 42,000 healthy horses were inhumanely transported and inhumanely killed to provided *delicacies* abroad.
Texans have not only a long and rich history with horses but continue to enjoy a working, recreational, and caring relationship with horses.
How can we, in this great state, allow such irresponsible, unethical, immoral treatment of a creature who has provided us with immeasurable benefits.
Do we as human beings owe our anumals such treatment. What in the world are our legislators thinking!
Please join us on May 9 in Austin to protest the signing of this bill into law.
Please sign this petition to present to State Senator Steve Ogden by May 5, 2003 to protest this despicable bill.
