Thanks Simone my friend, I am truly appalled to hear of this news! It angers me to think that anyone would sell horsemeat anyway, but illegally is even worse! Noted w/anger...

I will write my Congressperson here in Florida to let him/her know what's going on, and will also write to my Senators here to let them know of this.

In peace,
FreeSpirit...

Dear Governor Crist:



As an advocate at Care2.com my purpose is to offer my voice and energies towards protecting those without a 'voice' , whether animals or humans.



Having said this I submit this link for your review and comment >http://www.huliq.com/8059/87348/illegal-horse-meat-served-florida-restaurants#



1. Please let me know what is or can be done through state laws to protect horses

2. Is any new legislation/ Can new legislation be proposed to prevent horse slaughter with

the intent to sell to restaurants for consumption?

3. Butchering horses "at the side of the road" should be a crime because of the potential

health hazards not to mention that this act just should not take place at all nor should

it take place at the side of the road.

4. What is your plan of action going to be Governor Crist?



Thank you for your attention to this matter and I look forward to your response.



Sincerely,

Mrs. Rosemary Rannes
