Attn: Patients in Texas - Urgent action needed to stop horse slaughter factories

This just came to me from the Houston SPCA. Your action is definitely needed to prevent any horse slaughter factories from opening up again.

Your Immediate Action Is Needed TODAY!

The Houston SPCA has just learned that a Texas state senator plans on adding an amendment to a bill today which would legalize horse slaughter in Texas. This is the last day to amend bills in the Senate for this session, so if it does happen, it will be TODAY (5/23/07.)

Therefore we urge you, desperately, to contact your senator and the Lieutenant Governor immediately and ask him or her to look for and oppose any amendment to any bill that would legalize horse slaughter.in Texas.

Thank you for joining the fight.

* * * Remember when contacting your state senator, always be respectful and polite. PLEASE ACT NOW! * * *
* * * Please forward this call to action to any lists you subscribe to that concern the state of Texas * * *

Not sure who represents you? Click here!

It's actually been legalized nationally already I believe. This was a hot-button issue, but I'll have to check up to see if it did pass or not. If anyone else can find out first please do. thanks!
