BREAKING: Today, the US House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee advanced language that would bar the transportation of horses for slaughter for human consumption in the US and abroad.

Each year, more than 20,000 American horses are trucked to slaughterhouses in Canada and Mexico, where they are brutally butchered for their meat using ineffective stunning methods that can leave them conscious during dismemberment.

The bipartisan amendment to the Committee’s five-year surface transportation reauthorization bill, led by Congressman Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) and Congresswoman Dina Titus (D-NV), would close the legal loophole that permits this practice, achieving the same policy goal as the Save America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act.

AWI joins the ASPCA, Return To Freedom, Wild Horse Conservation, The Wild Beauty Foundation, and advocates throughout the country in urging Congress to bring this widely supported measure across the finish line.

BREAKING NEWS. Today, we have a major announcement for America’s horses.

The House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee has officially advanced legislation we have been working on behind the scenes, including language to prohibit the transport of equines destined for slaughter.

If ultimately enacted into law, this would represent one of the most significant federal actions ever taken toward ending the pipeline that sends tens of thousands of American horses across U.S. borders every year.

This is why we created The Lost Horses campaign. This is why we have lobbied tirelessly on Capitol Hill, and worked alongside our partners to shine a national spotlight on this issue through film, advocacy, and grassroots action.

But this moment only exists because YOU helped make it impossible to ignore - through your calls, messages, shares, and collective voices.

For the first time in decades, an undeniable groundswell is building in Congress.

We are deeply grateful to the members of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee for taking this extraordinary step forward.

We are also profoundly thankful to the organizations and leaders who have stood with us in this fight, including ASPCA, AWI, 1/ST, Jockey Club, Equus Foundation, and so many others.

But this fight is not over.

The language must now hold as the Surface Transportation bill advances to the House floor, which means we need you to raise your voices louder than ever before.

Please do not wait. This moment is happening right now.

Go to losthorses.org/take-action and send a letter to Congress - then double it up with a call to the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to your Representative.

You can say:

"Hello, my name is [NAME], and I’m calling from [CITY, STATE] to ask Representative [NAME] to help ensure the provision protecting horses from slaughter remains in the transportation bill as it advances to the House floor, and to support passage of the SAFE Act."

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Now… let’s finish this. For each and everyone one of the Lost Horses.
