Every single year, tens of thousands of horses – from ponies, to race horses, to working animals like plow horses – are slaughtered when they are deemed no longer “useful.” Many of those horses are healthy enough to live out their remaining days comfortably, but are sent to be tragically killed for their meat instead. Rather than being disposed of like a broken piece of equipment, animals who have done work for human benefit should be treated with the utmost dignity, since we depend so highly on them. This is why Congress must pass the SAFE Act – to finally explicitly ban both domestic horse slaughter and horse slaughter exports. Please sign this petition now to tell our legislators: it is time to act on behalf of these beloved creatures!
