Join Our Virtual Wall of Compassion!

Dear Friends,

We're excited to bring you another season of Animal Advocate Television! Shortly we'll be announcing the date of our Premier Season III!
If you're looking for a way to make a difference in the lives of animals in 2010, please read on and we'll show you how! If you're a pet related business, animal shelter or horse rescue, there's still time to get involved and to connect with your target audience - Pet Lovers! (email us here: info@animalfairycharities.org)

2009 was a tough year as many of our fur friends suffered a loss due to the bad economy. Many were abandoned and surrendered as a result of so many home foreclosures. Our shelters and rescues need our help desperately!

Since the very beginning, our mission has been to help those who are in the trenches every day caring for our animals and to make sure your dollars reach those who need it most.

Our show has proven to be a valuable tool in reaching out to the general public; informing and educating the masses on the various ways they could help whether that be adopting, fostering, volunteering or lending their voice to animal advocacy.

Animal Advocate Television is setting the standard for community awareness when it comes to our companion animals. And, with your support, we can maintain our mission and continue airing this model program.

Join us in our dream to make life better for animals. Tell us you care and you want to make a difference!

Please consider making a tax deductible donation today of just $5.00 or more and joining our Virtual Wall of Compassion™ telling your community "I care to make a difference." Our Virtual Wall of Compassion™ will appear on the show with your name on it during the entire season III of Animal Advocate Television and at animalfairycharities.org.

Thank you for all of you support

For the animals,

Debra

Man's Best Friend Campaigns To End Horse Slaughter

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MAN’S BEST FRIEND CAMPAIGNS TO END HORSE SLAUGHTER

Americans Against Horse Slaughter launches a new public awareness campaign inspired by pet lovers and concerned citizens from across the country.

Philadelphia , PA (Americans Against Horse Slaughter) January 26, 2010 - Americans Against Horse Slaughter was contacted by hundreds of concerned citizens, and other animal advocates after their recent discovery of American horses being slaughtered for the sole purpose of human consumption. The meat is then shipped to foreign countries overseas to be served as a high price delicacy.

"Are our dogs next?" says Lori Colon of Wadsworth IL . "This is unbelievable and a disgrace! I thought horses are considered our pets, our companions! We don't eat horse meat here!" continued Colon.

"I think the recent press about the wild horse roundups has shed light on our country's dirty little secret, horse slaughter", said Shelley Abrams, co founder of AAHS. “The wild horse advocates and organizations that have worked for so many years to protect the wild horses have done a wonderful job of creating mass awareness to the general public through the media and that has inspired the lay person to learn more.” Abrams added.

While the wild horses are in the forefront right now due to the unconscionable round ups taking place around the country which also put them at risk for slaughter, it is important to remember that our thoroughbreds, quarter horses and all breeds of horses are currently being inhumanely slaughtered for human consumption every day.

Americans Against Horse Slaughter is calling on all animal lovers and animal advocates to rise up against this brutal practice of horse slaughter by voicing their concerns to their Congressman and their two U.S. Senators and asking them to co-sponsor The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act; House Bill HR503 and Senate Bill S727.

Chairman John Conyers, Jr. issued a recent statement thanking all the members of Americans Against Horse Slaughter (AAHS) for their unwavering support of HR503, The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act.:

“The transportation and slaughter of horses for human consumption is cruel and inhumane, and I intend to continue my efforts to stop this terrible practice. We now have 176 cosponsors to H.R. 503,and support for the bill continues to grow. The support of Americans Against Horse Slaughter (AAHS) is critical to passage, and I appreciate and commend their efforts.”

AAHS would like to thank Congressman Conyers Chairman of the Judiciary committee for his recognition of our efforts and assure him that we will continue to work closely with his office to pass HR503.

Americans Against Horse Slaughter is a non funded, grassroots national movement comprised of supporters of a federal ban on the slaughter and the transport to slaughter of American horses for human consumption overseas. Americans Against Horse Slaughter has no other agenda, other than to stop the brutal slaughter of American horses.
