                       Friday, September 29, 2006

  Ms. LINDA T. SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, on September 7, 2006 
I missed rollcall vote No. 433, the American Horse Slaughter Prevention 
Act (H.R. 503). Had I been present, I would have voted in favor of this 
bill that intends to put an end to horse slaughter in this country for 
good. The practice of this purely export-driven market which involves 
the cruel treatment and killing of our horses for trade is 
unacceptable, and therefore I am a proud cosponsor and supporter of 
this bill that moves to end these practices.
