    Victory For Horses!

                                                  Sept. 22, 2007

                  Here is the wonderful news:

ILLINOIS - A federal appellate court panel on Friday upheld the constitutionality of an Illinois law that prohibits the slaughter of horses for human consumption. The ruling effectively shuts down a DeKalb horse-slaughtering plant, the last facility of its kind in the country. Cavel International Inc., a Belgium-based company, kills horses and ships meat overseas for human consumption.  (Chicago Tribune, Sept. 22, 2007)

                  Please watch this video from The Humane Society of the United States:

         Horse Slaughter is DONE in the United States!


A special thank you to everyone who helped achieve this major victory for horses by
signing the Petitions to Stop Horse Slaughter!  Activism reallly does work!  But let's not
stop here -  n
ow we just have to work on stopping the transportation of horses for the purpose of slaughter to keep America's horses from being transported to Canadian or
Mexican slaughterhouses to endure an even more brutal and inhumane fate.  

Please sign the petition to amend the Horse Protection Act to prohibit the shipping, transporting, moving, delivering, receiving, possessing, purchasing, selling, or donation of horses and other equines for the purpose of slaughter.     [
H.R.503.IH]


                                           Sign the 2007 Petition to Stop The
                            Transportation of Horses For Slaughter 
          http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/ban-the-transporting-of-american-horses-for-slaughter
 


       


This site is dedicated to stopping horse slaughter and the transportation of horses for the purpose of slaughter in the United States, to rescuing abused and neglected horses, and to providing information about horses and horse rescue.  You
 will learn about the atrocities which horses are being subjected to, and how desperately they are in need of help.  Our noble and beautiful friends are at risk of abuse, neglect, and slaughter every day.  

Horses are still being slaughtered every day in the United States, or they are being bought at auctions all over the United States and transported to Mexico or Canada to be slaughtered there.  There are currently three bills in Congress about horse slaughter
.

                
                       Click on the bill numbers to be connected to the actual bill.

1)  To amend the Horse Protection Act to prohibit the shipping, transporting, moving, delivering, receiving, possessing, purchasing, selling, or donation of horses and other equines to... (Introduced in Senate) [S.311.IS]

2)  To amend the Horse Protection Act to prohibit the shipping, transporting, moving, delivering, receiving, possessing, purchasing, selling, or donation of horses and other equines to... (Introduced in House) [H.R.503.IH]

3)  To restore the prohibition on the commercial sale and slaughter of wild free-roaming horses and burros. (Introduced in House) [H.R.249.IH] 


Mares are being kept confined in stanchions on Premarin* farms in Minnesota, North Dakota,  and Northwestern regions of Canada.  They are kept constantly and indiscriminately in foal to produce the hormone-rich urine needed to make Premarin*, the hormone replacement therapy medication.  They receive little or no care or attention.  The foals are only an unwanted by-product, and their plight is very sad,  though several well-intentioned Rescues are making supreme efforts to buy the foals out of the bondage they are in, in an attempt to save them from slaughter and place them in friendlier adoptive homes.


Horses are still being loaded up like sardines in double-decker livestock trailers, to be transported to slaughterhouses, being tragically and terribly injured, receiving no veterinary care.  Unscrupulous killer buyers are still purchasing horses en masse at auctions, to resell them to slaughterhouses, who butcher them inhumanely, and their meat is sold for human consumption.

And, most tragically of all, people are still buying horses because they are "pretty", not knowing how to take care of them, nor what horse ownership is all about.  They soon tire of the work and expense involved in owning them, and the horses end up at auction, sick, foundered, and looking like skeletons, with their eye sockets sunken in and their hipbones jutting out, heads hanging down.  Not all of them can be saved.  Some are too far gone and it is just too late.  Others have injuries or diseases they can never recover from.  But some of them can be restored to good health by a kind hand, a healthy and moderated diet, and timely veterinary intervention.

  And that's what Magic Star Equine Rescue is all about: 
SAVING HORSES ONE AT A TIME!!
