Defunding Equine Slaughter!

The Agriculture Appropriations Conference will be taking place sometime before the end of the year.  Sen Blunt is a member of this committee, and this is our chance to urge him to keep the defunding in the budget this time!  

We dont want our tax dollars to fund USDA inspections for foreign profit

We dont want adulterated meat to enter ANY food supply chain

80% of We The People oppose horse slaughter
