+Every year, thousands of U.S. horses are transported to Canada and Mexico and then slaughtered for human consumption. Although the United States has effectively banned horse slaughter within its borders, approximately 24,000 horses are exported every year.
Many consider these sensitive and intelligent animals companion animals, but they are treated as commodities in this global trade. They suffer not only in slaughterhouses but also during long-distance transport between countries.
Animal Equality, along with fellow animal protection organizations, are supporting the SAFE Act and urging its inclusion in the Farm Bill. The Farm Bill is a piece of legislation that comes around once every five years. It gives Congress the opportunity to improve our food system and the lives of animals. If passed, the SAFE Act would ban the exportation of horses from the U.S. to other countries for slaughter.
PROTECT ANIMALS AT EVERY MEAL
Like horses, cows, pigs and chickens are intelligent and emotional beings. No animal deserves a life of suffering for their meat to be sold at grocery stores. Luckily, you can make a simple change that helps animals every day.
