1. What does this have to do with people who actually live in DC? Wrong forum.

2. So? What horses deserve to not be killed because they're cuter than pigs and cows?

Feed em to the pythons like that lady in London did on the Python Christmas videos that went viral.

The President does not propose legislation so it would be quite difficult for him to "sneek" it through. Here is something you may enjoy and find enlightening:

Boy: Woof! You sure gotta climb a lot of steps to get to this Capitol Building here in Washington. But I wonder who that sad little scrap of paper is?
I'm just a bill.
Yes, I'm only a bill.
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law someday
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today I am still just a bill.
Boy: Gee, Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage. Bill: Well I got this far. When I started, I wasn't even a bill, I was just an idea. Some folks back home decided they wanted a law passed, so they called their local Congressman and he said, "You're right, there oughta be a law." Then he sat down and wrote me out and introduced me to Congress. And I became a bill, and I'll remain a bill until they decide to make me a law.

I plead the fifth, your honor.

I have no idea what horse slaughter has to do with DC but I find it amazing how uninformed about the legislative process so many people with strong opinions are. There are a lot of steps in Congress before the president ever even sees a bill.
