PtHA Has Joined AQHA, Others Filing Friend Of Court Brief
Edited Press Release

The Pinto Horse Association has joined others in the amicus curiae, or friend of the court brief, asking the United States’ highest court to overturn a federal appeals court decision upholding an Illinois law that closed a horse processing plant in Illinois.

Other organizations in support of the petition include the American Quarter Horse Association, American Association of Equine Practitioners, Palomino Horse Breeders of America, American Paint Horse Association, and the Horseman's Council of Illinios.

The groups believe that some 60,000 horses have already been denied humane euthanasia because of the plant closing. While the organizations do not endorse slaughter or processing of horses, they do recognize the necessity of slaughter as a humane option for owners who do not have the means to properly care for horses that, for whatever reason, have become unwanted.
