Washington, D.C. – April 25, 2012 – The Seraphim12 Foundation is participating in the “Horses on the Hill” event today in Washington, D.C. The event has brought celebrities, school children and citizen advocates from across the nation to join Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., sponsor of the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (H.R. 2966 / S. 1176) at the Russell Senate Office Building. The event is co-sponsored by the Animal Welfare Institute, the ASPCA (the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), and The Humane Society of the United States.
Participants will have the opportunity to meet with elected officials and seek their support in passing the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act, which would prohibit the inhumane killing of American horses for human consumption in the United States. It would also stop the transport of horses across the border to Canada and Mexico for slaughter. As part of the event, local school children and young equestrians will also be meeting with legislators to ask that they permanently protect our nation’s horses from inhumane slaughter.
Today, Seraphim12 brought a group of advocates including children, students and adults. Manda Kalimian and Pamela Polk created a statement for the press package, and will sit at the press conference to defend the horses’ rights to a dignified life and retirement. “We have a right to change their destiny. We can give them a dignified life, retirement and raise awareness on their behalf. This event is representative of the growing movement that will affect change,” Kalimian concluded.
The Seraphim12 Foundation is a 501(c)(3) Not-For-Profit dedicated to promoting a sympathetic balance between horses and humans through education and awareness about abuse, neglect and slaughter of America’s horses. Seraphim12 is empowering the people to raise their voices and use their constitutional rights to change the destiny of America’s horses. Through the use of humane education and campaigns to promote national awareness among all people, Seraphim12 is dedicated to give horses a dignified life, retirement and final resting place. Seraphim12 has been instrumental in the rescue of horses, promoting letter campaigns and creating curricula to assist in raising awareness surrounding the equine issues.
