Update about “Van Horn Texas Chamber of Commerce: DONKEY ROPING MUST BE STOPPED”
“Change.org” <mail@change.org>
Thanks for your great email! Good ideas!
I belong to a large group on Linked In
Called Equus: and participate
In a discussion group called:
Should horse slaughtering resume in the U.S.?
I will ask the group to write and call in for you.
I hope your donkeys don’t end up at the slaughterhouse.
Maybe you could join us too.
We just received notice that the House Appropriations Committee will consider the FY13 Agriculture Appropriations bill on Tuesday, June 19.
If you haven’t done so already, it is critical that everyone possible email and call your legislator if they supported previous efforts (see list at bottom) to prevent our tax dollars from being used to slaughter horses. Don’t let a few individuals trying to profit from the abuse of American horses undermine the will of the American people. This Tues in D.C.
The House Committee is voting on the Moran Bill
Here is a sample letter:
Dear Committee Member,
Please SUPPORT THE MORAN AMENDMENT TO PROHIBIT USDA INSPECTIONS AT HORSE SLAUGHTER FACILITIES IN THE UNITED STATES.
We at the LinkedIn Group, Equus and many organizations around the United States are working on all the alternatives for keeping the Slaughter houses from reopening. From horse industry leaders, organizations, rescue groups, private funding, education, and most important putting the a halt to the “Over Breeders” through legislative support in the United States and in other foreign countries.
This majestic animal “The Horse” needs our protection from those who seek to profit from this needless killing. The horse has always served us well and have given their “trust” to us and our country throughout our history.
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man” Mahatma Gandhi
Again, your support of Congressman James Moran’s amendment is necessary for the protection of the Horse. All the groups mentioned above are working hard to solve the problems which “the greed of man has created” with the over population of horses. The Horse Slaughter House Industry is counting on you to do nothing.
Thank you for your time in this matter.
—————-
if we really want to stop horse slaughter from becoming a reality in the US, please send your letters, share with your family, friends, websites, blogs etc. We have a couple days to get this done or the horse slaughter industry will have 15 months to build their brand and get a foothold back in our country.

Hey denise,
Ms Golden at Van Horn COC, who has influence but is not the decision maker, she offered these suggestions: please direct phone calls to Jason Owen of Dos Gringo Prod 432-940-9051. He has the donkeys allows them to be subjected to this life altering torture. He needs to understand how this permanently affects their life.
AS IMPORTANT is to direct emails to Larry Simpson, editor at The Van Horn Advocate: lsimpson@vanhornadvocate.com. Ms Golden needs to show the city administrator public pressure from the media, if she could show letters to the editor, it would go a long way.
Please remember: you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. All of you that have signed called are understandably angry appalled. It is easy to let our emotions takeover when trying to resolve such cruelty. Also lets remember not all Texans are part of this cruelty. There are great people in TX running needed rescues w/Texans as supporters. Di
