Horse slaughter is the most heinous and inhumane form of animal abuse and cruelty known within the USA. Every year we send 130,000 horses to Mexico and Canada for slaughter. Our own USDA reports that an appalling number of these horses are dismembered while still conscious.
It is time Connecticut's politicians are held accountable for their lack of action to protect our horses.
Demand transparency and accountability of all horse buyers, barns, persons or people as to the disposition of any and all equines they purchase for resale and/or use other than personal.
Demand transparency and accountability of all transporters as to where and whom horses that leave our state are delivered to. Demand logs of stops for horses to rest, be watered and fed.
Demand our politicians PROVE TO US that their constituents so not want slaughter to be outlawed. Demand they listen to the residents of this state, of which 80% object vehemently to horse slaughter. Demand laws NOW!!!
