Goal Met!
Horses have carried man through time, and now it's the age of the auto mobile, so the horse is slaughtered. That's not right!! Horses are like angels, they carry us through the oceans of hardship... they give us wings that let us fly into the clouds of happiness, soar away, and capture our dreams.. so why slaughter them?
Horse slaughter, as many know, is not a humane way of death. In fact, it is far from it, with the horses being abused and tortured from the beginning of their journey to death. Horses that go to the slaughter houses are usually sold at auctions. Here, people called ‘killer buyers’ who
work for slaughter houses, bid for the horses there and send them straight to the slaughter house without awareness of their owners. This leads to many cases of horse theft and is a problem in the United States as well as Canada.
Horses are loaded up and sometimes dragged by chains into trailers, sometimes inhumane double-decker cattle trailers, which are illegal in some states. The horses Often travel hundreds of miles without food, water, or rest. These horses, once arriving at the Slaughter house, are taken out of the trailer and loaded into boxes where they are shot with a captive bolt gun, which drives a spike into their skull. These once majestic animals devoted to working for us now become human food.
In a lunch session at the slaughterhouse, a horse jumped out of its pen and came unnoticed up to some slaughter men who were sitting in a circle eating some sandwiches; the horse approached and nibbled a small piece of lettuce that a man was holding in his hand. The men gave the horse some more lettuce and when the lunch period was over they were so affected by the action of the horse that not one of them was
prepared to kill this creature, and it had to be sent away elsewhere – showing that within each human soul there is an element of pity, compassion and love. It is our duty to encourage the higher qualities to bloom and blossom wherever possible in each individual.
Now our struggle to help our saviors begins, and hopefully will have a happy ending, when people realize that horses aren't livestock, they aren't food, but compastionate and devoted animals.

I support this petition. Horses are the best thing that has happened to man, and me being half Native American and a horse owner, ride and lover, I know horses should be treated with the love and respect every animal deserves even if you do not like horses there is no reason to kill them or any animal they do not do anything to hurt you on purpose, it is not the horse it is the experiences it has had with in its life. Think about that next, if you enjoy seeing animals in pain you are a heartless piece of ****.

I agree. The only reason these people are killing these majestic animals is for the profit. No one will agree with them if they tell them their job yet they rely on the money that they are paid. Although these horrid problems wouldn't be if the owners of these horses took the time to take care of their horses instead of selling them to slaughtering yards or letting them die from starvation.

I support this petition.I totaly agree with you 100% no matter how long it takes to save the horses. I am so glad that were in a free counrty but im sad that the horses aren't. They aren't free because the people who are very cruel. Those people that kill them are just murdering witch is a law that you can't. Now they had to choose such a beutiful animal to do such cruelty to.

I support this petition.That is totaly agreeable. I myself am a huge animal lover that would give my life to save any life of any animal. I have been trying to find a way to help the horses. This is a great website and im making one myself for the same cause. I can't imagine how bad those who work there can stand that horible thing everyday of there life kill the souls of the inisant. I could never do that to such a mejestic animal, to any animal! To kill the life of the inisant is a murder. How is our lifes any better that anyone else's life? With Love From, Nicole Ericson
