HALFway Safe
Dear Readers,
As I told you last week, you've helped win HALF the battle against horse slaughter.
Now that the House of Representatives has voted against horse slaughter, there will be a vote in the Senate.
I've pasted the language of the Senate Bill 1915 below and listed the sponsor and co-sponsors -- all people on the side of the horses on this issue. Check & see how your state is doing so far.
At the very bottom of this blog entry, I've pasted a link to a site which will help you help the horses again -- especially if no sponsors or co-sponsors are from your state!
Use your head to follow your heart,
Terri
S.1915
