Massachusetts State Senator Stephen Brewer of Barre, MA has introduced S.655, a bill in the Massachusetts Senate in Boston. This humane bill will ban horse slaughter for human consumption in the state, as well as its horrific and deadly bulk transportation. Your support is needed to gain this necessary bill! State residents, equine rescues, animal lovers, and all who are concerned with the humane treatment of horses are called upon to actively support this forward-thinking and compassionate legislation.
This bill was drafted by Equine Welfare Alliance and Animal Law Coalition and is fully supported by the Massachusetts chapter of Americans Against Horse Slaughter. Senator Brewer’s bold support is highly commendable and much-appreciated.
State residents are urged to contact their Representatives and Senators on Beacon Hill and request of them that they support S.655 both in committee hearings and when a floor vote occurs.
