Obama Flipflops on Campaign Pledge to Prevent Horse Slaughter, Media Mum

NewsBusters, Noel Sheppard, Dec 10, 2011

"Over the years, we’ve covered the efforts of former Playboy playmates Shane and Sia Barbi to put an end to the slaughter of horses in the United States. And, now that Congress has just lifted a ban that could result in a return to horse slaughter for meat after it had been outlawed for five years, the Barbi Twins are revamping their efforts. [...]

The twins are asking fans to get involving either by signing a petition, calling the White House (“Tell Obama to keep his promise to ban horse slaughter and pass H.R. 2966,” they write) or to call Wyoming Rep. Sue Wallis “who is pro horse slaughter and tell her that Americans don’t want to see PET horses as meat on our dinner tables.”

Barbi twins: Obama abandoned the horses
by Patrick Gavin, Politico, dec 1, 2011

Over the years, we’ve covered the efforts of former Playboy playmates Shane and Sia Barbi to put an end to the slaughter of horses in the United States. And, now that Congress has just lifted a ban that could result in a return to horse slaughter for meat after it had been outlawed for five years, the Barbi Twins are revamping their efforts.

The two blasted a release to their email list, headlined, “Twin Bunnies Campaign Against ‘Slaughter House Sue’ over Pet Horse Meat.”

“Profit over pet flesh is unethical!” the two declare. “Congress approved the Conference Committee report on spending bill H2112 for Thanksgiving, giving funding to USDA for horse meat inspections and lifted the 6 year slaughter ban. More than 70% of Americans don’t want slaughter houses here. While Obama was pardoning a turkey, he abandoned our horses.”

The Barbi Twins Motto: Cowgirl Up for the Wild Horses!

Examiner.com, Dena Stapleton, Feb 23, 2011


The Barbi Twins, Sia and Shane, were Playboy Bunnies that were plastered on the front Covers of the magazine. Well not much has changed by the way of being on the cover of magazines, but a lot has changed in the way of being a Playboy bunny. They took their “bunny” status over the top by becoming animal activists for every animal on earth, including the cute little fuzzy bunnies. They became the Bunny Crusaders, per-say.

They started out by getting more involved in rescue and helping out in shelters then moving onto bigger things like getting involved in the laws and urging US representatives to create better laws of protecting the animals. One, very close to home for both Sia and Shane, is the issues for the Wild Mustangs and also horse slaughterhouses. The Barbi Twins are doing what they can to urge people to come together to help support the Wild Mustangs and help show that the Bill HR503 (prevent cruelty to horses used for human consumption) and the Bill HR305 (help with the transportation of horses) are two bills that need to be passed. They are taking on a whole new motto: Cowgirl-up and help save the Wild Horses before they are extinct.
