Illinois Humane PAC
Legislative Alert!

Hearing Expected On HB 649 With Senate Amendment #4* To Ban The Slaughter Of 
Horses For Human Consumption
In Illinois!

[*A few wording changes needed in the original amendment #2 resulted in 
Senate Amendment #4 being prepared.]

There are strong indications that the Senate Executive Committee will hold a 
hearing within the next few days to consider the legislation banning the 
slaughter of horses for human consumption in Illinois!

The vote in the Executive Committee could be a close one, and every member 
of the committee needs to hear from you AND everyone you know urging them to 
support and vote yes on HB 649 with Senate Amendment #4!

Don't delay, call today and send this alert to others who will call too!  
Here are the members of the Senate Executive Committee:

Bradley Burzynski  217-782-1977
James DeLeo   217-782-1035
Miguel del Valle  217-782-5652
Debbie Halvorson  217-782-7419

The Illinois General Assembly Session is quickly coming to a close, so any 
action on this legislation must, and will, happen quickly.  I will continue 
to update you as things develop, but as with this alert, be ready to act 
quickly - you will be speaking for the 100 horses that would be slaughtered 
each day if the DeKalb plant opens and begins to operate!
