There's a lot of chatter and debating today on Facebook and other social media sites about the bill that President Obama recently signed into law which now allows slaughter of horses in the U.S. for human consumption (mostly shipped outside of the country). It's been weighing heavy on my mind.
I just wanted to share a few photos of Piper, who was rescued by Equine Voices Rescue and Sanctuary, when she was just 6 months old and headed to slaughter.
Thankfully, due to their efforts, she did not end up on some Europeans' dinner plate. It's hard to think about, but sometimes we have to force ourselves to think about things like this in order to be compelled to do something about it. Please take a moment today to call the White House Comment line. The number is 1-202-456-1111. This is not a recording, there are real operators answering and taking down your comments. State your objection to this legislation and request that it be repealed.
XOXO, Piper and Bridget
