Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

     This Act may be cited as ``The American Horse Slaughter Prevention 
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

     Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Horses have played a significant role in the history 
        and culture of the United States.
            (2) Horses in the United States are not raised for food or 
        fiber.
            (3) As a non-food and recreational animal, horses should be 
        protected from slaughter.
            (4) The foreign-owned horse slaughter industry has 
        slaughtered and exported for human consumption over 3 million 
        American horses in the last 2 decades.
            (5) Approximately 55,000 American horses are slaughtered 
        for human consumption annually in the United States by foreign-
        owned slaughterhouses. Tens of thousands of live horses are 
        exported from the United States annually for slaughter.
            (6) Horses slaughtered in these foreign-owned plants in the 
        United States have often been hauled several thousand miles 
        over several days, contrary to acceptable non-slaughter 
        standards for water, food, and rest.
            (7) Many horses shipped to slaughter are young, healthy 
        animals. Others are old, sick, blind, crippled and in otherwise 
        poor condition and are unfit to withstand the rigors of long 
        travel. Horses sent to be slaughtered are often shipped on 
        crowded double deck trucks designed for shorter necked species 
        such as pigs, cattle and sheep, and are forced to travel in a 
        bent position which can result in suffering, injury and death.
            (8) Killing of horses by foreign-owned slaughterhouses in 
        the United States contrasts with the preferable method of 
        killing by chemical euthanasia.
            (9) Horses endure repeated blows to the head with stunning 
        equipment that often does not render the animals unconscious. 
        Some horses proceed still conscious through the remaining 
        stages of slaughter being bled out and dismembered.
            (10) Because horses in America are not food animals, 
        veterinarians commonly prescribe and treat horses with potent 
        drugs that may reside in the horseflesh and be dangerous when 
        consumed by humans.
            (11) Because of the lack of disclosure on the part of the 
        agents and dealers for the slaughter plants people's horses are 
        many times acquired and slaughtered through fraud and 
        misrepresentation. Slaughter also provides a quick and 
        evidence-free outlet for stolen horses.
            (12) The imposition of a ban on the sale of horseflesh for 
        human consumption, regardless of its source, is consistent with 
        the international obligations of the United States because it 
        applies equally to domestic and foreign producers and avoids 
        any discrimination among foreign sources of competing products. 
        Such a ban is also consistent with provisions of international 
        agreements to which the United States is a party that expressly 
        allow for measures designed to protect the health and welfare 
        of animals and to enjoin the use of deceptive trade practices 
        in international or domestic commerce.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

     The purpose of this Act is --
            (1) to prohibit the slaughter of horses for human 
        consumption;

                    (B) Bonds.--

                        confiscated pursuant to this Act may prevent 
                        permanent placement of the horse by the 
                        facility that has temporary custody of the 
                        horse by posting a bond with the court in an 
                        amount the court determines is sufficient to 
                        provide for the necessary care and keeping of 
                        the horse for at least 60 days, including the 
                        day on which the horse was taken into custody. 
                        Such bond shall be filed with the court within 
                        10 days after the horse is confiscated. If a 
                        bond is not so posted, the custodial facility 
                        shall determine permanent placement of the 
                        horse in accordance with reasonable practices 
                        for the humane treatment of animals. If the 
                        animal has not yet been returned to the owner 
                        at the end of the time for which expenses are 
                        covered by the bond, and if the owner desires 
                        to prevent permanent placement of the animal by 
                        the custodial facility, the owner shall post a 
                        new bond with the court within ten days 
                        following the prior bond's expiration. If a new 
                        bond is not so posted, the custodial facility 
                        shall determine permanent placement of the 
                        horse in accordance with reasonable practices 
                        for the humane treatment of animals.
                            (ii) Costs for providing care for horse 
                        deducted from bond.--If a bond has been posted 
                        in accordance with clause (i), the custodial 
                        facility may draw from the bond the actual 
                        reasonable costs incurred by the facility in

Output: NII Copyright Protection Act of 1995 - Amends Federal copyright law to grant exclusive rights to the owner of a copyrighted work to provide public distribution of copies or phonorecords of such work by transmission. 
Revises the definition of:  (1) "publication" to include transmission as a means by which copies and phonorecords of a work may be distributed to the public; and (2) "transmit" to include distribution by any device or process whereby a copy or phonorecord of the work is fixed beyond the place from which it was sent. 
Makes importation in the United States, whether by carriage of tangible goods or by transmission, of copies or phonorecords of work acquired outside of the United States an infringement of the exclusive right to distribute such work unless done with the owner's consent. 
(Sec. 3) Increases from one to three the limit on copies or phonorecords of a work a library or archive is allowed to reproduce. Limits the number of such copies or phonorecords that may be distributed to one.  Revises the conditions of such reproduction or distribution to require that a copyright notice must appear on the copy or phonorecord that is reproduced under the provisions of this Act. 
Allows a library or archive to reproduce or distribute a copy or phonorecord of an unpublished work duplicated in a digital form solely for purposes of:  (1) preservation and security; and (2) replacement of a copy or phonorecord that is damaged, deteriorating, lost, or stolen, if the library or archive determines that an unused replacement cannot be obtained at a fair price. 
Exempts a non-profit organization from copyright infringement for reproducing and distributing to the visually impaired, at cost, a Braille, large type, audio or other edition of a previously published literary work in a form intended to be perceived by the visually impaired if, during at least a one-year period after the first publication of a standard edition of such work in the United States, the owner of the exclusive right to distribute such work in the United States has not entered the market for editions intended to be perceived by the visually impaired. 
(Sec. 4) Prohibits any person from importing, manufacturing, or distributing any device or product, or from offering or performing any service, the primary purpose or effect of which is to circumvent any process, treatment, mechanism, or system which prevents or inhibits the violation of any of the exclusive rights of the copyright owner, without the authority of such owner or the law. 
Prohibits a person from knowingly:   (1) providing, publicly distributing, or importing for public distribution false copyright management information; (2) removing or altering any copyright management information, without the authority of the copyright owner or the law; or (3) distributing or importing for distribution such unauthorized altered information or copies or phonorecords from which such information has been removed without authorization.  Defines "copyright management information" to mean the name and other identifying information of the author of a work, the name and other identifying information of the copyright owner, terms and conditions for uses of the work, and such other information as the Register of Copyrights may prescribe by regulation. 
Sets forth civil remedies and criminal penalties for violation of this section.
