Equine slaughter defunding language has remained!

The defunding language was removed from the Ag Budget in 2011 in a sneaky move on the part of Sen Blunt, Sen Kohl and Rep Kingston. We are faced with equine slaughter operations opening on US soil for the first time in 6 years because of this deceptive move. We do NOT want that language removed this time! The American Taxpayer is already dealing with poor inspections of our meat due to the budget cuts. We do not want the USDA inspecting meat that will not be used in the American food supply!

We The People are aware that the Ag Appropriations Conference will be held shortly. We urge you to leave the horse slaughter inspection defunding language (by Rep Moran) in the budget. The House and Senate Bills are identical and therefore do not need to be reconciled! They are IDENTICAL! It is undemocratic to pull out this language this time!

Our horses are unfit for human consumption, and we do not want our tax dollars funding USDA inspections at the tune of $400k per plant, per year. 80% of Americans are opposed to equine slaughter.

Please represent We The People, and keep the DEFUNDING in the budget! Please see www.kaufmanzoning.org to learn about the horror and reality of equine slaughter.
