Time is quickly running out! Despite the election buzz, we must focus on the U.S. Senate to ensure that it will take action on the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act before adjourning for the year.
Our next National Call-In Day for Horses is this Monday, Nov. 13, and we must flood Senate offices with phone calls, urging them to cosponsor S. 1915. Your calls have been instrumental in getting the bill through the House of Representatives and ready for Senate action, so help us push it past the finish line and end horse slaughter in America forever. Mark your calendars now.
Here's what you can do to help:
1. Make the call Nov. 13.
Call your two current U.S. Senators, or call the Congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121. If you're not sure what to say, try this: "I am a constituent and I am calling to ask that the Senator immediately protect our horses from slaughter and cosponsor S. 1915, the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act. I am very concerned about American horses and I don't want them slaughtered."
Follow up your phone calls by letting us know you called to support the end of horse slaughter in the United States. Please take both steps! We must light up the phones in the Capitol because there already is very vigorous lobbying by the slaughter industry and its allies. We mustcounter them at every turn.
Please encourage your friends and family to make the call, too. Your calls will not only make a difference, they will help make history. Help us end horse slaughter in the United States forever.
Sincerely,
Wayne Pacelle
