Every poll, every petition, shows a clear and overwhelming support for continuing a ban on horse slaughter inspections as well as the legislation to stop the export of American horses to slaughter. We know most of our legislators aren't listening, but take these links and copy the poll results and MAIL them to your representatives. Don't fax them to your 24 year old staffer who is only thinking about his next cushy job as a lobbyist and doesn't want to do anything to reduce his chances of employment making the big bucks (LA's usually aren't paid jack), MAIL them. They have to respond in some way to a letter.
