Equine Advocacy Groups Expose Gross Gap in U.S. Border Horse Slaughter Inspections

Straight from the Horse's Heart


Required Government Inspections are NOT happening
Alliance
This is a result of a FOIA request on inspections at the Mexico border pens. We are all sickened by the lack of inspections, enforcement and what American horses endure in the slaughter pipeline. A total of only 199 inspections took place during 2010, 2011 & 2012.
Our thanks to our investigators for their diligence and determination in exposing the inexcusable conditions and treatment of American horses. We wish the horse owners could see what road they have chosen for their horses. The photo of the mare and her foal is heartbreaking.

We encourage everyone to call their legislators and demand passage of the S.A.F.E act to end this now.
House Bill HR 1094
