This petition was created in 2002,but I think it is still worth signing: Call on the Polish Government to ban the live export of horses from Poland for meat.

Horses undergo severe pain and suffering on journeys of up to 1500 miles. Many horses die even before they reach the abattoir. We believe this practice is morally abhorrent.

I could not contunue to watch the slaughter and torture of these sweet, innocent, voiceless horse. We must be their voice. Please write your senators oppossing this horrid action. We need to stop exporting animals out of the country for any reason. This has to stop and only our voices to the public and our officials will get it done!
