Horses need your help.  Tens of thousands of horses are exported for slaughter each year, and every aspect is fraught with suffering for the horses that fall victim to this predatory industry. “Kill buyers” gather horses to cram into their trucks, usually from auctions or individuals seeking to rehome or sell their horse, and they often misrepresent their true intentions. The horses are then often transported for over 24 hours without food, water, or rest. At the slaughter plant, their suffering may intensify as these terrified animals are known to endure multiple blows to the head in attempts to render them unconscious.

The SAFE Act would prohibit any horse slaughter plant from opening and end the sale or transport of horses and horse parts in the U.S. and abroad for the purpose of human consumption. Take action below by asking your legislators to cosponsor the Save America's Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act!
