Only One Signature Left to Make Horse Processing Likely in Montana.
HB 418 is landing on Governor Brian Schweitzer's desk this week--the Montana Legislature has done their part!

The Montana Legislature showed its courage and its integrity last week by passing House Bill 418 that will help the horse industry and horse people nation wide.

There is just one step left for HB 418 to become Montana Law, the Governor needs to sign the bill. Because Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer is heavily financed by out-of-Montana dollars and is being heavily lobbied by environmental and animal rights activitists to veto the bill...it is really important that he hears from rural America and horse people everywhere.

If you live in Montana be sure and get all of your friends and neighbors to call, email or write and tell Governor Schweitzer how important it is for all of us, no matter where we live, that horse owners’ rights and options are preserved in America.
Be brief. Be specific. Be polite. Make sure you ask for the bill to be signed without vetoing any part of it. The injunction against harrassing lawsuits is so important in order to encourage foreign investors to take the risk to build a $5 to $6 million dollar processing plant that would be a benefit to every horse owner, whether they ever send a horse to slaughter or not, because it will help the horse market for all horses recover.
