"The Horse Slaughter Issue is about Disposal.
How are we going to kill America's Horses.
Are we going to kill them via a method that is repulsive to the vast majority of Americans,
a method that is against our culture - Slaughter,
or are we going to kill America's Horses via a method
that is in line with American Culture and accepted by Americans -
Lethal Injection. "

Follow the above link for updates on the status of the Il Horse Transport Bill. Currently the EPN SUPPORTS because the Hostile Amendment was withdrawn due to swift opposition, before the IL House Voted to PASS the bill. Now the bill is in the IL Senate.


Double deck trailers are not designed, safety tested, or manufactured for horses. The USDA has stated that they cannot be made safe and humane for horses, even if modified. The EPN has provided Osmond's office with documentation supporting the above statements.


Brigadier

1997-2006

Our heart goes out to the
loved ones and friends of Brigadier,
the Toronto Police Service horse who was brutally run down and killed in the line of duty
on February 24, 2006.
We hope those working to change/create laws to protect Police Animals in Canada are successful.

Please visit Anne's Blog with beautiful photos and tributes to Brigadier:

In Memory of Brigadier

 

"Brigadier's stall, with a rosewood urn for his ashes, that was graciously donated by someone who was touched by this tragedy. Carrots, apples and other treats have been filling the hallway for a week."

From Anne who loves & misses Brig very much. Anne is dedicated to keeping his memory alive ...Please help us keep his memory alive and ensure that all Police Animals are protected by law.

Call your State Legislators & ask them what, if any law protects police animals. Request a copy be mailed to you. Forward the laws onto the EPN so we can raise awareness on this very important issue. In Pennsylvania Police Animals are protected.

"The Commonwealth does not tolerate violations of the animal cruelty law in Pennsylvania,
and the police did an excellent job in enforcing this law. 
"

Subsection e1 of the animal cruelty law,(found at 18 Pa.C.S.A. 5511) otherwise known as the "double decker" law,
is one of Pennsylvania's strongest criminal laws.  

Montgomery County Assistant District Attorney Aliena Gerhard
The EPN extends our deepest appreciation to the Whitemarsh Police Department, Pennsylvania State Police, Montgomery County ADA Aliena Gerhard, Linda, and the private citizen who kept her eyes open & made the call to report the illegal transport of horses in 2 double deck trailers!
