Ruhlmann Biography

Very Interesting. Here is an excerpt from an AVMA article; What can the veterinary profession expect in Obama's America?
Do you expect anti-horse slaughter legislation will be passed in the 111th Congress?
We will definitely see the bills
introduced in the 111th Congress. In the past, proponents of the bill have had varying levels of success in the House and
Senate. At the end of this year, we saw a reworked bill introduced and referred to the Judiciary Committee, which passed the
bill at the end of September. The proponents will continue to push for passage, despite of the reports of increased abandonment
and neglect as the result of the poor economy and high feed prices. The bill will have a better chance of passing in the new
Congress than it did in the 110th Congress.

Well, well, what have we here? We’ve been saying
for years that abuse/neglect has nothing to do with the availability of slaughter. Here’s some proof.
