Bill is Deferred on Horse Slaughter Processing Plants

Today the ASPCA announced that HB 1428/SB 1898, the bill that would have facilitated the opening of horse slaughter processing plants in Tennessee, has been deferred for the rest of this year.

While the ASPCA expects this bill, or something similar, to reemerge in 2010, the horses are safe for now.


If you haven’t already, please take a moment to contact your U.S. senators and representative on behalf of the Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act. This federal bill will prohibit the transport of horses across state lines for slaughter, and if passed, will make pro-slaughter, state-level bills like HB 1428/SB 1898 irrelevant.
