Horse Salughter letter from Sen. Ayotte: Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act (S. 541)

Posted by on March 26, 2013

Here is a positive letter to share in response to my contacting US Senator Ayotte:
March 26, 2013

Dear Ms. Brown:

Thank you for contacting me regarding horse slaughter. I appreciate hearing from you.

As you may be aware, on March 12, 2013, Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) introduced the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act (S. 541) in the Senate, which was referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. If enacted, S. 541 would prohibit horse slaughter operations in the United States and end the annual export and slaughter of approximately 150,000 American horses abroad.

I believe that all animals, whether domestic or wild, should be treated decently and humanely. In addition, I want to ensure that our nation’s food supply remains safe. Although I am not a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, please be assured that I will keep in mind your comments should S. 541 come before the full Senate for consideration.

Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me. As your Senator, it is important to hear from you regarding the current issues affecting New Hampshire and our nation. Please do not hesitate to be in touch again if I can be of further assistance.

Sincerely,

Kelly A. Ayotte
U. S. Senator
