Executive Order to Ban Horse Slaughter in New Mexico

Horse Slaughter for Human Consumption is hazardous work, cannot be done humanely, causes over breeding and abandonment, spreads diseases state to state, increases violent crime, decreases property values, causes mountains of potential pathogenic entrails and miles of odors. The alternatives are...

Horse Slaughter for Human Consumption is hazardous work, cannot be done humanely, causes over breeding and abandonment, spreads diseases state to state, increases violent crime, decreases property values, causes mountains of potential pathogenic entrails and miles of odors. The alternatives are already in use on 90% of horses. Horse Slaughter is not needed and creates meat tainted with drugs unfit for human consumption. 80% of Americans and most of the 23 Tribes and Pueblos in New Mexico are opposed to horse slaughter.  GOVERNOR MARTINEZ can LEAD the nation. She can use her executive powers to BAN horse slaughter in New Mexico.

    CNN Tried to Demotivate us with this News Story Entitled "Horse meat slaughterhouse set to open in New Mexico on 3/11/13!  Lame story, almost no facts. Didn't work!

Mankind seems to be adding more and more living beings to the human diet: horses, dogs, cats, bugs, turtles... How far away are we from cannibalism, thinking it's OK to eat our neighbors, friends and even family? How can the same civilization that sends men into space, and communicates with smart phones, possibly condone the cruel slaughter of these sentient beings, when we have so many options available to nourish our bodies without defaming our morality? This has to stop somewhere, and...

Mankind seems to be adding more and more living beings to the human diet: horses, dogs, cats, bugs, turtles... How far away are we from cannibalism, thinking it's OK to eat our neighbors, friends and even family? How can the same civilization that sends men into space, and communicates with smart phones, possibly condone the cruel slaughter of these sentient beings, when we have so many options available to nourish our bodies without defaming our morality? This has to stop somewhere, and blocking the slaughter of horses is a good place to start.
