Loved listening to Simone on the Martey Oakley Talk Radio Show tonight.
Guest: Simone Netherlands, Natural Horsemanship Trainer, founder of respect 4 horses Organization, and director & producer of the documentary “America’s Wild Horses.”
Simone talked about the Salt River Wild Horses, her documentary (“America’s Wild Horses”), the raw deal given to some wild horse herds that were omitted from federally protected Herd Management Areas (HMAs) when the HMAs boundaries were being decided, and other issues relating to wild horses and horse slaughter. Simone will also let you know what you can do to help the wild horses.
Simone Action Alert:
Please call your Senator and State Reps to Cosponsor and support the Safe Act for Horses immediately! and promote it to everyone you know.
Crucial legislation, titled the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act (H.R. 1094/S. 541), was recently introduced in Congress that will protect consumers from toxic horsemeat and end the cruel slaughter of America’s horses as well as their export for slaughter abroad.
Horse slaughter is fraught with terror, pain, and suffering. In the past, plants that existed in the U.S. had a history of polluting local water supplies, lowering property values, and were a drain on local economies. Horses are not raised for food and over the course of their lives are given a wide variety of drugs and veterinary treatments that make their meat unfit for human consumption.
TAKE ACTION
Please make a brief, polite phone call to your U.S. Representative and two U.S. Senators to urge co-sponsorship of H.R. 1094/S. 541, the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act. Look up your legislators’ phone numbers here. You can say: “I would like you to please co-sponsor H.R. 1094/S. 541, the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act, if you have not already done so. If you have, thank you. Please do all that you can to support and pass this important legislation to protect our nation’s horses and keep the food supply safe for consumers.”
After making your phone call (please do not skip that crucial step!), fill in and submit the form below to automatically send a follow-up message to your members of Congress. Legislators receive a lot of email, so be sure to edit your message so it stands out
