Ask Your Senators to Co-Sponsor the Horse Slaughter Prevention Act

American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign

Help American Horses - Domestic & Wild!

On June 9, 2011, Senators Landrieu (D-LA) and Graham (R-SC) introduced the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act to end the cruel slaughter of American horses for human consumption and their transport over the border for that purpose. Every year, approximately 100,000 American horses are crammed onto trailers and shipped across U.S. borders into Canada and Mexico, where they are brutally slaughtered, and then shipped overseas to end up on dinner plates in Europe and Asia.

A June 2011 Government Accountability Office (GA0) report highlights the need for this legislation by confirming that the across-the-border transport and slaughter of American horses is largely unregulated. Read an excellent analysis of the implications of this report here.

Commercial slaughter is a threat to all American horses . . . both domestic and wild. So please be a voice for the horses today!
