AHA
Vision Statement

      

 
On May 16th, 2009 the AHA Board of Directors passed motion #16-5/16/09-BOD stating that 
AHA supports reopening equine slaughter facilities in the United States.
 
This endorsement is not in accord with the Arabian Horse Association Mission statement:
 
To promote growth in the interest in, and demand for the Arabian, Half-Arabian and Anglo-Arabian horse; preservation of the integrity of the breed;
increased participation in activities involving the Arabian, Half-Arabian and Anglo-Arabian horse;
recognition by the equine industry and general public about the value and attributes of the Arabian, Half-Arabian and Anglo-Arabian horse; and
ensure services and benefits that are valuable and convenient for the AHA members.
 
As this action does not support the Arabian Horse Association’s aim, intent, and goals, and is of no benefit to the Association, the membership, or the Arabian breed, the motion must be rescinded.
　
We, the undersigned, as members of the Arabian Horse Association, call on the Board of Directors to rescind the motion supporting the re-opening of U.S. equine slaughter facilities, thereby signifying that the Arabian Horse Association has no position on horse slaughter.

AHA members hold varied and opposing views regarding horse slaughter; 
 it is an individual's right to debate the issue in political forums.

The petition to rescind the AHA slaughter resolution 
does not require members to oppose horse-slaughter.

The petition's sole purpose requires that the AHA Board of Directors rescind the slaughter endorsement, 
thereby signifying the Arabian Horse Association maintains a neutral position on the issue of slaughter.
