double Decker transportation for horse transportation in our country is just another crooked political issue and subjects a horse to terrible misery and pain for hours. Seems there is just to much not being done due to crooked politicians. Just like the thousands of protected mustamgs that a certain so call political sent off to man who was going to provide them with a GOOD HOME.We do not need anymore suffering in our animals for the gain of crooked politician.What has our country come to. Don’t believe me just go to Mercy for animals see how our milk cows are tortured. and calves are killed by hammers. Come on Congress this is not what our country was about. Clean up America, you have the reins now so do it

I support the ban on the transport of horses by double decker trailers. It’s inhumane.

I don’t think cattle should be allowed to be trucked in double-decker trailers either.

Using a double trailer to transport horses is cruel. This practice must be outlawed!

Oh my gosh!!! The way people just don’t care about animals mekes me want to smack then in the face and say “wake up, are you blind!!!” I really truly hope this gets passed!!! It would make a good difference! Double deckers are not safe for any animal let alone a horse with their height, weight, delicate bones and systems!!!

Double deck trailers were not designed for horse whether they are heading for slaughter or not. It is like trying to but a 6 ft person in a three foot car. Government interference usually just makes one disagreement into a huge debate. Where is the common sens?

Good grief. Where is the common sense in our government? It seems like a no-brainer to have legislation prohibiting double-deckers, something that tall with that much moving weight doesn’t say “safe”, no matter the environment it’s driving through. The past speaks for itself.
