The Humane Society of the United States is very pleased that Mississippi lawmakers have taken this important step to stop an egregious trophy hunting practice that amounts to nothing more than pay-per-view slaughter. Responsible hunters know there's no sport in shooting an animal remotely while lying in bed and wearing camouflage pajamas. We urge Governor Barbour to sign this bill into law now and snuff out this snuff film scenario.

We applaud Senators Ensign and Byrd for winning this resounding victory for horses. Senate offices received thousands of calls from constituents who love horses, and we thank lawmakers for acting decisively to end the slaughter of these American icons and trusted companions. The identical language from the House and Senate should put this issue to rest and save tens of thousands of horses from a grim and painful end.
