Bombshell Report: Federally Protected Wild Horses Are Entering Canada’s Slaughter Pipeline

American horses, including wild mustangs and discarded Thoroughbreds, are ending up at Canadian slaughterhouses where they are killed for human consumption or dog food. Despite federal protections, wild horses have been sold by US officials to others who then transport them to Canada for slaughter. An undercover investigation by PETA exposed the inhumane treatment of horses during transport, where they are denied food, water, and rest, even when sick or injured.

The bipartisan Save America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act (H.R. 1661/S. 775) aims to permanently ban horse slaughter and the export of horses for slaughter for human consumption. This act is crucial in preventing horses from entering the slaughter pipeline and enduring unnecessary suffering. It is essential for concerned individuals to take action by urging legislators to support the SAFE Act to protect these vulnerable animals.
