Get 'er Done, Cowgirls!

Dear Readers,
Last week we got good news from the House of Representatives, they voted to end horse slaughter.
Now, before the Senate has had a chance to ban horse slaughter, too, a court in Illinois has give the Cavel Horse Slaughter plant the go-ahead to resume butchering horses for human consumption.
I have heard horses were herded into the factory and killed today, but I hope it's not true.
Here's what you can do. I've listed just ten Senators below. Please call one or more (they are either new or haven't yet decided how to vote) and ask their office to end horse slaughter in their state.

NOTE: IF THE PERSON WHO ANSWERS THE PHONE ASKS IF YOU ARE AN ILLINOIS RESIDENT (AND YOU'RE NOT), YOU MIGHT TELL THEM THAT THIS IS A NATIONAL ISSUE BECAUSE THEIR STATE HAS THE ONLY HORSE SLAUGHTER PLANT OPERATING IN THE U.S. This means ALL of our U.S. horses - purchased at auction, stolen, etc - are being shipped to THEIR plant
