Maybe the Liberal senators can be convinced to support bills like this...

  SENATOR FEINSTEIN'S HORSE SLAUGHTER BILL

A bill worthy of support will be introduced soon in Congress by California's Senator Dianne Feinstein to prohibit the slaughter of American horses for human consumption abroad. The Bill will be referred to as SB(number to come) Feinstein Bill and will probably be referred to merely as the Horse Slaughter Bill.

As Americans, most of us were shocked to learn that this odious, ugly and gut-wrenching practice even exists. Why? The reason is simple. Horse slaughter, or the slaughter of our pleasure, nonfood animals, is not and never will be part of our culture.

Let's hope Feinstein makes sure to include a provision that allows the slaughter of horses whose philandering mates say they wanted to be slaughtered.

From the linked site:

In the Feinstein Bill, both 'Unplaceable Horses' and 'Horses Beyond Recovery' are, when necessary, humanely euthanized by veterinarian by lethal injection only.

They don't want them kept alive, they just don't want them sold for food. Not comparable to Terri's case.
