Talk:Horse slaughter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am trying to edit this page, but was only able to make changes in the first section. When I saved it, that is all that now exists.

There are other changes that need to be made. HR 503 sponsored by John Sweeney expired with the 109th Congress. HR 503 has been introduced again in the 110th Congress on 1/17 by Rep. Janice Schakowsky. The Senate bill is now S.311.

The article also needs to be updated re: the 1/19 decision by the 5th district appellate court: http://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/05/05-11499-CV0.wpd.pdf

The 1/6 changes added many pro-slaughter paragraphs, including the pro-slaughter view of the against slaughter side.

The sentence: "The current bills are intended to govern private ownership decisions." is editorializing, not fact.

This: "While some actual horse breed associations support the ban on slaughter, the majority of organizations supporting the proposed ban on horse slaughter are equine rescue groups and animal rights groups." is misleading.

I'm a new editor and don't understand why I was not able to edit the full article this time, everything I did in December worked fine.

Added deleted content back, updated and reworded. Added judicial ruling section. Updated legislation section. Added/updated links. Still need to add citations.
