Dear State Representative & State Senator,
As a constituent of yours I encourage you to BAN HORSE
SLAUGHTER IN ILLINOIS
by voting YES on S.B. 1921.
As Americans, we do not
eat horsemeat and American equines are not raised as livestock.
The thought of
sending horses to slaughter is reviled in the United States where we see horses
as companions, sporting animals, or both. Additionally, many horses are
medicated with products
clearly marked “not intended for animals used for human
consumption” and slaughter-bound horses
are not tested for West Nile virus.
Without the passing of Senate Bill 1921, Illinois along with
Texas, will be the only states in the
country to support the barbaric practice
of slaughtering horses. Currently the Texas operations
are operating under
restraining orders in violation of state law.
Respectfully,
