I know there are many Kossacks who are disturbed by the Burns Amendment and it's effect on the wild horse population in the US.

This Thursday, an important amendment will come to the floor of the House. It is called the Rahall-Whitfield Interior Appropriations Amendment and, if passed, would ensure that no tax dollars would be used for any sale of wild horses that could lead to their slaughter.

The Humane Society of the United States has a web page set up to help those of us who would like to do whatever we can to stop the sale of these horses to slaughter.

A total of 41 mustangs, previously protected by the Wild Horse and Burro Act, have been slaughtered in a DeKalb IL processing plant. This was made possible by a rider attached to a spending bill passed last December that changed the 34 year policy of banning the slaughter of such animals. We have Sen. Conrad Burns of Montana (R) to thank for this awful, and unnecessary, change in the law.

Last week, six mustangs were purchased by an Oklahoma man who claimed to be using the horses for a church youth group. He bought them for $300 out in Colorado and then sold them for $2,000 to the Cavel Corp where they were slaughtered and processed for human consumption overseas. Read More

Al Franken is going to broadcast his show live from the Punch Line in SF this Friday, October 1. Air America just started today on a Clear Channel Station here (960am) and they would love some of the public to show up. It's kinda a small room...about 125 people, but it's first come first serve (coffee and some food at 8:30am and then the show starts at 9:00am).

I am sooooo thrilled we finally got a station to put Air America on in SF, I really want it to kick ass here.

I have hesitated to post about this topic, because there are so many other more important topics out there and while this is VERY important to me, I understand that it might not be so important to others.

Last week I found out that Humane USA PAC issued it's endorsement of John Kerry for President:

And while the first part of their press release discusses their disappointment with Bush's support of the hunting industry, later in the release it goes far beyond that. Read More
