Silent earth and chemtrails -rachel
carson,silent spring-DDT aerial spraying
Rachel carson wrote in 1962 silent spring,
the indescriminate spraying of ddt in the late 1950s / early 1960s caused an ecological
disaster unforseen and denied by the scientists who created ddt. should this not be a
lesson to remember, once bitten twice shy ? so many analogies to the recent chem spraying,
losss of fish, grounding dolphins & whales, bats and birds dying in unprecedented
amounts, tree species and flora sucumbing to new unknown diseases, oaks, beech and
chestnut among some of the mighty trees we are now loosing. silent earth, say no to
chemspraying, do something.

Bill to Ban Horse Slaughter
Introduced in US Senate
In her statement on the Senate floor, bill
sponsor Senator Mary Landrieu said, "America's horses are being beaten and dragged
across the border into Mexico and Canada so that they can be inhumanely slaughtered for
food. I will continue to fight in Congress to end this brutal practice and ensure that
American horses will no longer be savagely slaughtered for human consumption." While
horse slaughter no longer occurs on U.S. soil the absence of a federal statute means that
horses are shipped out of the country for slaughter. Reports show that horses regularly
travel for hundreds or even thousands of miles to the slaughterhouses on double-deck
cattle trucks without food, water or rest. At some Mexican slaughterhouses horses are
stabbed repeatedly in the spine until they are paralyzed, after which they are butchered
while still fully conscious. "The time to put an end to the practice of slaughtering
horses in America is long overdue," said Senator John Ensign said. "Horses have
an important role in the history of our country, particularly the West, and they deserve
our protection. As a senator and a veterinarian, I am committed to doing what I can for
these magnificent animals. "The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act will amend Title 18
of the U.S. Code to acknowledge horse slaughter as a form of animal cruelty. The
legislation includes stiff civil and criminal penalties and gives law enforcement
officials the authority to apprehend and charge violators. We have great confidence that
the Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act will move quickly. The bill, which has had strong
support from a majority of Congress and the American public, is long overdue. For years I
have pleaded with the pro-horse slaughter camp to stop misleading the public but they are
more concerned with wringing a few bucks from a suffering animal than doing what is right.
Thankfully we have the majority of Congress advocating for change and this is the year
that will happen, said Chris Heyde, Deputy Director of Legislative and Government Affairs
for the Animal Welfare Institute. AWI commends Senator Landrieu, Senator Ensign and their
colleagues for introducing this very important measure. An identical version, HR 503, was
introduced earlier this year in the House of Representatives by House Judiciary Chairman
John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) and Representative Dan Burton (R-IN). There are currently 112
bipartisan cosponsors of the Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act in the House of
Representatives.
