Last year, there was a Pro-slaughter plan of action initiated by certain members of the Agriculture & Energy Committee of the National Counsel of State Legislators (NCSL). The plan called for a petitioning of Congress imploring them NOT to interfere with their right to slaughter horses. In addition, they have organized a state-by-state campaign in their own respective states to pass their own state legislation that would allow them to build equine slaughter house in those states. Currently, there are twelve (12) states that have such legislation pending;

It was Sue Wallis, a Representative of Wyoming, that initiated the all out assault on our anti-slaughter efforts.
I would like to call your attention to something posted on Sues own website. Once you open the link below (click on the title above)and page down about 3/4 of the way until you see "Equine Resources" in blue letters, and the bill number, H.J. No. 0008." This is the bill that, if passed, will allow horse slaughter in the United States.
Look at the "supporting materials" list and go to where it says "partial list" where she lists all of her pro-slaughter supporters.
Here you will see the list is alphabetized. Look there to see the United Sioux Tribes of South Dakota listed as pro-slaughter supporters!"
What do we thank of that?
