..
The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act (HR503) was introduced on Wednesday by House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) andRepresentative Dan Burton (R-IN). The bill which will ban horse slaughter and the transport of horses to slaughter for human consumption was first introduced in the summer of 2008. While it had strong bipartisan support and passed out of the Judiciary Committee, time ran out for the 110thCongress.
The swift introduction of HR503 to the 111th Congress indicates just how committed Chairman Conyers is to ending horse slaughter and the brutal conditions surrounding this practice. HR503 already has 60 co-sponsors in the House and has strong bipartisan support.!!
"The horse is an American icon, and it is a betrayal of our responsibility to these animals to treat them like cheap commodities and send them across our borders for slaughter", said Wayne Pacelle, President and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States.
Although the last remaining horse slaughter plants operating in the US were shut down in 2007, the practice continues by transporting our horses to Canada and Mexico where they are brutally slaughtered and their meat is shipped overseas as a delicacy in Europe and Asia.

Dearest Cheryl,Lynnea my pal, too am only a mother to my hounds & cats whom I rescued & adopted. She was also Mom friend to her Valory (Aqha) from 6ms to 23 yrs old. So you and Lynnea are true Moms. Lynnea was a "chosen" child so adoption started early for her. Take care dear one. Happy Mom's day to you too. Love, CY<img src="http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images0
Yep, with I Want Revenge out looks like I need to beat Pioneer and Dunkirk (rising beyers), weather in my favor. Looking forward to seeing Rachel Alexandra and all others at the Preakness in two weeks. But..... there is a reason they turn/em loose. Let's race.
Hey girl, sorry I am just now writing back...I never get on myspace anymore. I have a facebook and get on there everyday. I love American Idol. I watched Kelly Pickler last week when she was on there..She is so cute! I love her! How are you doing? Did you ever get your new puppy???
I was so sorry about Old Fashioned too. Take care Cheryl. Proud Spell's been retired and going to be bred asap. I can't be sure if sire is Indian Charlie..my brain is tired tonite. Sweet dreams. CY
Thanks for your comment CHeryl. I didn't think anybody would care because nobody's sent me any comments since I posted yesterday. I wish more would care as you do as on your profile. Thanks again and take care. Hugs, CY
A woman has strengths that amaze me, she can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens, she holds happiness, love and opinions. She smiles when she feels like screaming. She sings when she feels like crying. Cries when she's happy, and laughs when she's afraid, her love is unconditional, there's only one thing wrong with her and that is that sometimes she forgets what she is worth.

Pass this onto every beautiful woman you know, I just did Hugs my Friend barb
Cheryl if I could count the times I've and Lynnea and Carole and others have emailed ESPN over the last few years to comment and ask why they don't have a weekly TB show, why they cut coverage out and why they don't bother to do any type of show about Thoroughbreds, their heritage, the beauty of them and many many more comments...I'd have to have 50,000 hooves to hit the keys with. No response from them. I guess they really are just interested in everything else but the beauty of horse racing and its heritage, history and the now a days of the great fillies, colts, mares, horses that run every day with heart courage and beauty. It's a shame they feel they'd rather air some of the silliness they do...I hardly watch them anymore. I'm tired of the tedious stuff they show. I love oher sports but I surely don't understand why they don't even show their classic specials they have on Triple Crown and bios of great horses or any of the latest greatest horses and about horse racing. They have stated they just don't get ratings. If they'd make their televised shows when they do have a racing telecast with more about the horses, the trainers, etc. and put some heart into it, there would be interest and great ratings. Yes betting is a part of racing but something more than betting and odds and some the stupid time wasting computer graphics of how a race will be run with cartoons should also be given air time. I have given up even writing or trying to email and even calling...because any comment that doesn't agree with them, appears to die and never get any response. Do email them and let me know if you receive any type of answer. Oh, for the days of CBS, ABC, even NBC when they had shows which had great writing, great heart and gave respect to the horses and those who work so hard to keep racing going....Thanks for the comment dear friend. Take care dear one. Love, CY
