USA: Shocking Undercover Footage of U.S. Horse Export to Mexico for Slaughter

Information The Humane Society of the United States

5 October 2007

Now that all three U.S. based horse slaughter plants are closed, we have one remaining hurdle to spare American horses from foreign dinner plates -- we must stop the exportation of horses to slaughter plants in Mexico and Canada.

We just released new footage uncovering the cruelty of the Mexican horse slaughter industry and the utterly inhumane transportation methods used to ship horses to Mexican slaughterhouses.

Congress needs to act swiftly to pass the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (H.R. 503/S. 311) and end the export of American horses for human consumption!

Sincerely,


Wayne Pacelle
