“All you animal activists, fuck you”

Call to Action!

Last night we showed the shocking video of Tim Sappington shooting a horse to make a point against all animal activists who might get in his way. He stated “All you animal activists, fuck you” and then shot the horse at point blank range. This could be considered a hate crime against all of us who have spoken out against the Roswell NM horse slaughter house. The owner of the slaughter house intends to hire 40-100 people, and Tim is the first employee of Valley Meat Co.

We must all band together and put a stop to this. What Tim did may very well be the catalyst to ending the possibility of the horse slaughter house in Roswell, but we must join together to make that happen.

Here is the link to the unedited video. Warning, it is graphic. Send this link to law enforcement and any news outlets you can think of.

To see the edited, (no violence or foul language) visit this link.

Below you will find a list of phone numbers to call in Chavez County where the slaughter house is planning on opening.

We don’t necessarily agree with everything that PETA and HSUS do, but they are the nations largest animal welfare organizations and do have armies of lawyers and followers:

PETA 757-622-7382, option 2 email:http://www.peta.org/about/contact-peta/email-form.aspx

The Humane Society of the United States - Phone: 202-452-1100 - email: http://www.humanesociety.org/forms/contact_us/contact_equine_protection.html

Contacting the news may generate interest in this story. Yesterday Fox News put out a poll on horse slaughter, so they may be very interested in the story:

FoxNews Hotline - Phone: 888-369-4762 - Email: foxnewstips@foxnews.com.

Since this is a possible hate crime crossing state lines, the FBI may be interested in doing some investigation:

FBI - Albuquerque, NM 87107 - Phone: (505) 889-1300 - Public Corruption hotline: (505) 889-1580 or online tip line: https://tips.fbi.gov/

Another action is getting horse slaughter outlawed nation wide. Support the following bill that will end horse slaughter and export once and for all.

Please make a brief, polite phone call to your U.S. Representative and two U.S. Senators to urge co-sponsorship of H.R. 1094 S. 541, the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act that ends the cruel slaughter of America’s horses as well as their export for slaughter abroad. 

You can find your representative at this link:
http://action.humanesociety.org/site/PageServer?pagename=electedOfficials_federal. 

You can say: “I would like you to please co-sponsor and support H.R. 1094/S. 541, the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act to protect our nation’s horses and keep the food supply safe for consumers.”

We know we are asking a lot of you, but this is extremely important. We must be a united voice for those that have no voice. 

Please share and like this post as much as possible to spread the word.
