It also says,
"The National wants to hear from you!
Part of what we hope to do here at The National is to create a discussion with our viewers about the stories we report each night on the program and on the website. If you have a comment or question about something you've seen on The National, please get in touch with us.

"We watch each video and read every comment that we receive. Some of the video and written responses we get will be selected for broadcast on The National in our Your Turn segment at the end of the program."

Much of the information in the news video is available in print here:

Please click on that page and click "Recommend this story" at the bottom of the text, above the comments.
The National's story is likely to give efforts to ban the transport of horses to slaughter a terrific boost. Please help make sure the show gets the commendation it deserves.

I send thanks to the many people who made sure we knew about the coverage!

Yours and the animals',
Karen Dawn
