Some Good News

​FINALLY, some good news!! The Senate Appropriations Committee passed the Udall-Graham (Coons-Feinstein-Reed-Collins-Shaheen) Amendment which would prevent the USDA from funding horse slaughterhouse inspections. Similar language did not pass by a vote of 25-27 in the House Appropriations Committee. What this means is the Senate and the House now have to work together to reconcile the two bills (one from the House and one from the Senate). So now is the time to contact both your Congressman/woman and your Senators and let them know you support language in the Agricultural Bill that does not fund horsemeat inspection, which would pave the way to open horse slaughterhouses in the US. Since Congress takes a recess in August, please contact your representatives at their home offices. 
There's still work to do, and we can't let up just yet, but this shows that we need to keep reaching out to our legislators to let them know we don't support horse slaughter in the US.
