I hate posting this kind of thing but I wasn’t aware of this until this morning and even if you don’t own horses, you can’t argue they are beautiful animals we all enjoy. Please if you can sign the SAFE bill they are trying to pass. Slaughter facilities are so horrific (go check out Colby’s Crew Rescue on FB) and so many of them wind up there, thrown away when they are no longer wanted and are perfectly fine. I’ve rescued 2 donkeys and many of you have met them. It breaks my heart to imagine them in a slaughter holding facility. Why do we allow this?
We don’t do it with cats and dogs, so why our beloved equine?
Anyway, if you have a second, please sign. Specifically this bill prohibits a person from knowingly slaughtering an equine for human consumption; or shipping, transporting, possessing, purchasing, selling, or donating an equine to be slaughtered for human consumption or equine parts for human consumption.
We need to get the SAFE act passed so that this becomes illegal. That no horses can be allowed to be sold for slaughter. https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/3475 #:~:text=Introduced%20in%20House%20(05%2F18%2F2023)&text=This%20bill%20permanently%20prohibits%20the,extends%20the%20prohibition%20to%20equines.)
