For the past couple of years the horse group I belong to, AlexBrownRacing.com, has been working hard in passing legislation to stop horse slaughter in the United States. In September of 2006 the House passed H.R. 503, but it failed to get any further. As of a few days ago another bill, Similar to H.R. 503 has now been introduced, called
H.R. 6958 (also title above). Information about the bill can be found here;

A bill tracker, to keep track of how the bill is doing, can be found here;

Even though the slaughter plants in the US have been shut down, horses are finding an even worse fate across both north and south borders. This bill must be passed to keep American horses safe from the horrid abuse of the slaughter plant. If you haven't already, please call your congress persons and ask them to cosponsor HR 6598.
