Dear Friends,
We are very pleased to report that HB 1711, introduced by State
Representative Bob Molaro to end horse slaughter in Illinois, passed by
an 8-4 vote in the
Illinois House Executive Committee. Voting in favor of HB 1711 were
Representative's Acevedo, Berrios, Bradley, Burke, Lyons, Molaro, Rita,
and Turner.
Voting against were Representative's Biggins, Brady, Hassert, and
Meyer.
Representative Angelo Saviano did not vote.
Yesterday's vote was an important step forward to ending horse
slaughter in
Illinois, however, a great deal of work yet remains in order to secure
enough
votes to pass HB 1711 through both the full Illinois House and Senate.
We will soon issue a new action alert containing the list of contact
information for all Illinois House members along with instructions as
to who needs to
be contacted. Please continue to take action on behalf of HB 1711 and
our
nations horses!
Thank you all so very much for all your hard work on this!
Congratulations
everyone...great job!!!
