Update!!!!!! Horse slaughter plants in every state in our nation is an aberration, not to say the least.. For all of us this was an appalling act on our government to have funds designated for this particular inhumane slaughter of our horses. Many of the organizations, e.g. PETA, Center for Biological Diversity, ASPCA and many more sent out petitions and asked for help... I also blogged and was able to give everyone the petition to sign, share and links through the help of ASPCA to FB your State Representative to support the FARR-DENT amendment not to appropriate funds for this travesty... Here is your answer......

 The success of the Farr-Dent amendment in the April 19^th Agriculture Appropriations Committee, prohibiting funding for horse slaughter plants, proved that our communities throughout our nation did not fall victim to this sensationalism.  Everyone paid attention to where our tax dollars were going and made sure  OUR VOICES were heard.  In my State of Florida, Charlotte County,  Representative Rooney listened.  I personally visited and spoke to his staff and wrote messages on his FB page.  I am sure many of our State Representatives listen and acknowledged us as the VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.   

While acknowledging complexity of the issue,  State Representatives made it clear that their  constituents were opposed to horse slaughter and that their actions would reflect that. Obviously Rooney’s commitment to his constituents is not gone here in Florida and those of you who reached out to your Representative, in your state,  we must trust that they too made a right decision to support  this amendment, as we  the PEOPLE  must make are VOICES HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR. as WE must not let it be forgotten, we elected them into office and we speak for those who are "VOICELESS'
 

Mahalo to everyone who helped support the Farr-Dent Amendment, but we have many other crucial issues facing us, especially with the US Fish and Wildlife Services, as they go ROGUE!!!!! (wolves, black bears, mountain lions, and more) Endangered means nothing to them...........
