May 11, 2008 Illinois State Senate Committee to Consider Banon Cruel Double-Deck Horse Transports Illinois State Rep. Sacia trying to legalize horse slaughter, AGAIN! Dear Humanitarian: On Wednesday, May 14 the Illinois General Assembly's Senate Agriculture and Conservation Committee will consider HB 4162, sponsored by State Senator John Cullerton (D). This bill, which successfully passed out of the House in February, amends the Humane Care for Animals Act so that "no person may transport any equidae in a vehicle or trailer containing 2 or more levels, one on top of the other." The bill is a result of a horrific accident involving horses in Illinois.
