🚨 WEEKEND ACTION FOR AMERICA’S HORSES 🚨
While Congress is out for the weekend, we have an important opportunity to keep building momentum for America’s horses.
As many of you know, the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee recently passed a surface transportation bill that includes bipartisan language to prohibit the transportation of horses, donkeys, and mules destined for slaughter.
This is a HUGE step forward—but our work is not done.
When Congress returns, this legislation will continue moving through the process, and we need lawmakers to know that Americans are paying attention and expecting them to protect our equines.
Why this matters:
🐴 More than 20,000 American equines were exported for slaughter in 2025 alone.
👉A recent survey shows there are over 2.3million homes available for horses across the USA!
👉Given only 0.4% of the total horse population end up in the slaughter pipeline! These horses will easily be absorbed back in to the horse community!
⚠️ The TRUTH is the horse slaughter pipeline is not just an animal welfare issue. It also raises serious concerns involving public health, biosecurity, consumer protection, and transnational crime.
🦠 Disease risks such as diphtheria-positive horses and the growing threat of screwworm make stronger protections more important than ever.
