Dear Friends,

We have exciting news!  The bill, HB 649, which would ban horse slaughter for 
human consumption in Illinois passed out of the Illinois Senate Executive 
Committee today!  It will now go to the full IL Senate.

We now need everyone to please contact the entire IL Senate, and ask them to 
vote YES on HB 649 when it comes before them!   Remind your Senator that how 
he/she votes on HB 649 will determine how you vote in November.

First, please contact your own Senator and then, please contact those who are 
listed as unconfirmed on the barntowire website:  
http://www.barntowire.com/stophorseslaughter-Illinois-sens.html

Next, contact the confirmed No's, and lastly, please contact the confirmed 
Yes's.

For now, please contact their Springfield offices.  If you cannot make long 
distance calls, the list of their district numbers is below.

We have very little time to get this bill passed, as the session is drawing 
to a close.  We must be relentless in our calls and faxes asking for support of 
this bill. 

As previously mentioned, if you're an IL resident, please consider setting up 
an appointment with your Senator to discuss this bill, and urge them to visit 
www.HorseKillers.com to view the clear difference between euthanasia (which 
is the most humane end for a suffering animal) and cruel slaughter.

LASTLY, PLEASE CROSSPOST THIS ALERT TO ANYONE WHO IS WORKING TO END HORSE 
SLAUGHTER - THANKS! 

For the Horses,

    "The day may come when the rest of the animal creation may acquire those 
rights which never could have been withholden from them but by the hand of
tyranny. - Jeremy Bentham 1748 - 1832 
The question is not can they REASON, nor can they TALK, but can they SUFFER?"
