On April 27, 2004 Senator John Ensign (R-NV) and Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA)
along with several of their colleagues introduced the American Horse Slaughter
Prevention Act (S. 1915) in the US Senate. During his introduction, Senator
Ensign said, "As a veterinarian, I am well aware of the love that Americans
have for their horses. Much of our Nation's early history and culture is associated
with these animals. We think of George Washington's horses and the legend of Paul
Revere's ride and the Pony Express. And more recently, we were reminded of how the
Depression Era race between Seabiscuit and War Admiral raised the spirit of our Nation."
Senator Ensign, one of only two veterinarians in the US Congress, is a natural leader
on this very important legislation.
