Cavel International, the Belgian horse slaughterer is rapidly rebuilding its plant in DeKalb, IL in hopes that SB 1921, the bill to ban horse slaughter in Illinois, does not pass. Therefore, we have to do all we can now to ensure that this humane bill DOES pass! |

Please visit www.HorseKillers.com, and sign the petition to ban horse slaughter in Illinois. It's also imperative to forward the petition on to anyone you know who'd be willing to sign it, and then ask that they forward it on as well. We need as many signatures as we can, so we can prove to Illinois legislators and the rest of the country that Illinois citizens do not want horse murder here!
While on the website, you can also view actual, chilling footage of unfortunate horses in slaughterhouses being shot with the captive bolt gun as well as the bloody slaughter itself. These images are very difficult to watch, but they're real and typical of any horse slaughter plant. These video clips also show the gross inadequacies of the captive bolt method and clearly refute the horse slaughter proponents' claims of the bolt being rapid, efficient and most importantly, pain-free! This footage was kindly provided by the Humane Farming Association.
You may also be surprised to find out who supports horse slaughter, and SHARK urges you to let them know what you think about that.
With your help, we can prevent Illinois from becoming the Horse Killing Capitol of the United States. |

This horrible treatment of such an incredible animal is beyond cruelty. This country, as well as any other developed country, was founded with the help of horses. They deserve dignity and respect not an unthinkable, horrible death. |

Dear Bette Noparstak:
Are you opposed to any slaughtering of horses in principal, or are you opposed to the inhumane slaughter of horses. And does your opposition extend in a similar manner to all animals (i.e., cows, chickens, fish, etc), or just to horses?
Please keep in mind I am not trying to attack or defend your stance. I am simply trying to further understand your position. I am also trying to use language that is as neutral as my limited ability will allow.
Thank you for your anticipated reply.
Sincerely:
DOL |

After seeing these clips i became a vegitarian. I don't understand how people can do that to animals. If I had to work there I'd kill myself! |
