Good News!
A hastily scheduled hearing of the US House of Representatives Judiciary Committee in regards to HR 503--a bill that would make it a felony to transport a horse that could be used for human food--was canceled as soon as it became clear that the tribes were standing shoulder to shoulder in opposition with the United Organizations of the Horse.
We were jointly requesting time to testify about the horrific unintended consequences that would inevitably result if these bills were implemented.
The tribes are backed up by a strong resolution condemning HR 503 and its counterpart S 727 passed by the National Congress of American Indians.
Yet another resolution supporting the position of the United Organizations of the Horse was passed by the State Ag and Rural Leaders--a gathering of agriculture committee chairs and vice chairs from state legislatures and Canadian provinces just days before this now canceled hearing was scheduled for Feb. 2nd.

UOH/UHF First Group to Meet with GAO Study Team
On January 19th leaders of the United Organizations of the Horse and the United Horsemen's Front were the first organizations to meet with the Government Accountability Office's (GAO) team that has just commenced a thorough study of the effect of the horse plants closing on the welfare of horses themselves, and on farm and ranch economy. Former Texas Congressman Charlie Stenholm led the contingent that included Sue Wallis, Rod McQueary, and Dave Duquette.
As the first group to meet with the GAO study team they were able to provide a tremendous amount of history, background, and documentation that will lay the groundwork for the study. The report was originally scheduled to be completed by March 10th, however, because of the scope of the study, it has now been determined that the study will take nine to twelve months to complete.
