Grass roots lobby effort exceeds expectations

Americans Against Horse Slaughter (AAHS), supporters of a federal ban on the slaughter of American horses for human consumption overseas, proclaimed its "lobby week" a resounding success. In all about 100 volunteers showed up in Washington on March 4th and 5th for its "lobby week". The intense two day effort, intended to garner support for federal legislation, was the largest such effort to date.

"It was an incredible example of grass roots democracy at work" said Alex Brown, a racing professional, professor and one of the event's organizers. The all volunteer effort attracted experts on every aspect of the issue as well as a number of celebrities.

The volunteers were joined by actor Paul Sorvino who attended meetings with key congressional members and staffers. In all, hundreds of separate and pre-arranged meetings were held between AAHS volunteers and congressional staffers, and packets of information were presented to each office.

"We wanted to stress that the closing of the three domestic plants has not stopped slaughter" said Julie Caramante, "Our horses are still going to Mexico and Canada and they are suffering terrible stress and brutality." Only federal legislation can stop these exports.

Among the activities was a reception attended by AAHS volunteers, members of Congress and congressional staffers. The capacity crowd heard presentations from Paula Bacon, the former mayor of Kaufman Texas (home of the defunct Dallas Crown slaughter plant), Sonya Meadows of Animals' Angels, writer John Holland, Jill Anderson of Return to Freedom, Shelley Grainger of the Canadian Horse Defense Coalition (CHDC), Nancy Perry of Humane Society of the United States, Liz Ross of the Animal Welfare Institute, actor Paul Sorvino, Phantom Stallion author Terri Farley, survivor star Jenna Morasca, and documentary producer Robyn Day (What about the Horse).

The presentations were intended to bring the members up to date on all aspects of the battle against horse slaughter and to present the findings of investigations into horse transport by Animals' Angels, conditions at Canadian slaughter facilities by the CHDC and deceptive press accounts concerning the effect of the closing of US based plants last year. All presentations will soon be available on line.

The AHSPA which had 193 cosponsors in the House and 38 cosponsors in the Senate immediately gained two cosponsors with indications more would soon follow. Of particular significance, the top candidates for president, Senators Clinton, McCain and Obama, are already cosponsors of the legislation.

Deleting the Fiction: Abandoned Horses

December 23, 2007

Information collected by:
Terry Torrence, John Holland and Valerie James-Patton
Report Compiled by Valerie James-Patton

Forward:

Note to all journalists and reporters:

Groups are now in place to verify all abandoned horse article claims made anywhere in the United States. Any articles or news stories which make claims about abandoned horses, will be checked for verification through police reports, state park services, and all other places that claims have been made about abandoned horses anywhere in the U.S., due to the findings that many reporters are writing false or unverified articles about abandoned horses.

The current findings of these articles will be presented in this report. These include opposing articles, police reports, letters to the writers of these stories, documentation written by Kentucky Representative, Ed Whitfield, Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher, as well as documentation from the sources of claims where these supposed horses have been abandoned.

So far, all the current abandoned horse articles have been found to be fabricated, as shown in the evidence presented here.
