    Please understand that there are some animals in this world that even if profitable are not for consumption. As an American I am ashamed to have elected a president who could even consider such a thing. It is a disgrace and I along with many others will fight it in every way possible.

    When will our lawmakers wake up and listen? Horse slaughter benefits ONLY the greedy kill buyers and the European Meat Companies. With no regard to either the welfare and humane handling of the horses, or the health and wellbeing of the consumers who eat the tainted meat, our lawmakers are condoning this horrible practice. Why should we have a single penny of our tax money contribute to this, lining the pockets of European corporations? I can't believe that our government will take YEARS and YEARS to approve a new human cancer drug, citing SAFETY - but will ship poisoned, chemically filled horsemeat out for others to eat. As a cancer survivor, I am totally disgusted with the hypocracy and double standards of our lawmakers. Who do they think they are fooling? Our animals deserve so much better, we as taxpayers deserve better and wow - Consumer Beware. At a cost of $50 million a year, the US will provide horse meat inspectors for meat to be shipped overseas? What the heck are these folks smoking??? Who are these lawmakers accountable to? I hope we can all step up, raise our voices and demand reinstate the ban on horse slaughter.

    My horse just turned "41" this year and I could never imagine someone sending them to a slaughter house to be consumed in another country.

    These actions epitomize hypocrisy. We don't eat horses for food in the U.S. but we will ship them somewhere that will? Turns my stomach.

    How could any one allow this horrible act to go on unless they have no HEART at all for these beautiful animals. The killers of these animals need to be put in jail and and NEVER let out. We need to get this law passed and make sure it STICKS. Plus we need to make that these animals are NOTtransported to Mexico or Canada to be slaughter there in stead. Plus we need to have a santuary for them and people willing to donate money to help them . Thats the only way to way to save them. We NEED to get this done NOW

    Horses are as symbolic as the country they built America.!! It is a shame and disgrace we don?t give them the respect they have earned. For centuries, horses shed their blood to give their service to us. It says a lot when a country has better laws for its flag (that doesn?t have a spine or feel pain), than it does for its horses !! I urge the passage of this bill! !! Thank you ~

    I am thoroughly disgusted with our shipping of horses to slaughter. This must stop. Is this what we teach our children? Brutality is fine. This government is too lazy to find alternatives to this horrific practice.

    Stop killing horses!! PLEASE Save our horses instead of throwing them away like garbage. Horses are NOT ment for food,they give us a purpose and food isn't one of those purposes. PLEASE STOP SLAUGHTERING,TRANSPORTING, SELLING,POSESING,ETC. HORSES FOR FOOD AND OTHER PURPOSES! Horses help people in so many other ways such as therapy,medical therapy for children and people of all ages!! PLEASE STOP!
