Horse-slaughter ban language has advanced in the House. Now is the time to make your voice heard in Congress.
The SAFE Act language has now advanced through the House Transportation Committee as part of the appropriations process, marking a very concerning step forward for those who support responsible horse ownership, animal husbandry, and private property rights. To be clear, SAFE Act horse-slaughter-ban language passed the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee as an amendment incorporated into H.R. 8870, the BUILD America 250 Act.
If enacted, this legislation would continue the federal blockade against humane horse processing in the United States while offering no realistic solutions for the growing crisis of unwanted, abandoned, neglected, and financially displaced horses across America.
Now is the time for the horse industry, agriculture community, rural America, and supporters of private property rights to rally the full U.S. House of Representatives to STOP the SAFE Act before it moves any further. Emotion-driven legislation without practical solutions continues to harm both horse welfare and the people who responsibly care for these animals every day.
Congress must hear from horse owners, breeders, ranchers, veterinarians, and agriculture advocates NOW.
