Horseslaughter - The Voice of the people ignored and it's NOT just an animal rights issue [View all]

How many times will the people be ignored? Our wild horses are rounded-up and taken off of public land in cruel inhumane manners even though the people want humane treatment of America's beloved wild horses and burros, now taxpayers must pay to slaughter and export horse meat for people in Europe! Polls show that the American people do NOT support horse slaughter and yet we have sit back and watch horses brutally murdered so that a few wealthy individuals can collect $26 to $30 a pound on the exported meat, it's outrageous! Please help circulate this article and the cause in general, our horses need help!!
