Kelly Carlson Wendie Malick–Wild Horse Education For Congress
Written by Vegetarian Star on January 28th, 2010 in Actresses, Animal Issues.
Nip/Tuck actress Kelly Carlson and Just Shoot Me‘s Wendie Malick, along with Wayne Pacelle and other representatives from the Humane Society, took time to educate Congress on the horse welfare.
They were there to lobby for bill H.R. 503/S. 727, which, according to US News, prevents transport of American horses to slaughterhouses in Mexico and Canada and stops roundups of wild horses by the U.S. government.
Equine slaughterhouses don’t exist in the US, but horses are often rounded up there and sent to these countries where they are slaughtered and the meat is bought by Belgian owned companies and consumed in Europe.
Sounds like the group kept their concern for animals when it was time for lunch, as they conducted a press conference at K Street’s Teatro Goldoni over what sounded like a vegetarian dish–fresh beet salad and angel hair pasta.
Carlson also participates in horse rescue and rehabilitation with an organization in Canada.
