Are there any celebrities actively involved against Mexican Horse Slaughter?

I'm not sure. But just for the record, I love your question! If I were a celebrity, I would be, too. My favorite part of the question is how you said "Mexican" instead of just horse slaughter. I am against Mexican horse slaughter, but I support humane slaughter in the US. So I call myself a slaughter-supporter, because I support horse slaughter here in the US. Sorry if this didn't help. Thanks, Jaybrianna.

It's the slaughter of our wild mustangs by ranchers and so called sportsmem. Our own mustangs are being killed because they infringe on ranchers territories (mostly Federal land) for grazing. Others are killed for sport. These horses are a part of our heritage and should be treated with respect and dignity.
