Did you see the feature on CBS news this morning about a possible equine slaughterhouse in New Mexico? If not, you can check out the story here:

While it's great that national attention is being brought to the issue of slaughtering horses, we still need to convince more of our elected officials that it's time to place a national ban on the slaughter of American horses for human consumption.
So what can we do?
SIgn this petition and circulate it to everyone you know. The goal is to pass a bill banning the slaughter of horses for human consumption on the state level. The process is easy, and you can do so here.
Second, please continue to share our national petition via email, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and any other blogs or boards you visit. The link to our petition is right here:

Thanks again for everything you do to help keep our horses safe from slaughter!
