Help us end the trade of Ejiao

U.S. Representative Don Beyer (D-VA) reintroduced the Ejiao Act (H.R. 6021) in the House of Representatives to ban the sale and trade of ejiao. Originally introduced in 2021, the Ejiao Act (then H.R. 5203 and now H.R. 6021) would prohibit the transport, sale, and purchase of ejiao products, as well as donkeys and donkey hides to produce ejiao. This legislation mirrors the penalties under the Lacey Act -- widely regarded as one the strongest federal laws in the United States to protect a wide range of species from illegal trade and exploitation.

On Sunday, January 26, in PBS Masterpieces’ show "All Creatures Great and Small," Tristan Farnon returns from his time stationed in Egypt, specifically in Cairo, as part of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps ("Homecoming", Season 5, Episode 3). In the episode, Tristan mentions that he was responsible for readying horses, mules and the rare camel for war (WW2), and one can only think that he was very much aware of the work of Brooke in that country and at that time.

Undoubtedly, Brooke has left its mark in global history. Here’s to helping working equines everywhere, and celebrating Brooke USA’s 10th Anniversary.

Our Story

Brooke USA’s Mission Is To Significantly Improve The Welfare Of Working Horses, Donkeys And Mules And The People They Serve Throughout Asia, Africa, The Middle East And Latin America By Raising Funds And Responsibly Directing Them To The Areas Of Greatest Need.

Through the programs we fund, Brooke USA helps equine owners, service providers and governments in the developing world to implement scientifically-proven, practical, sustainable and culturally relevant solutions to enormous animal welfare challenges.

Brooke USA raises funds to support a wide variety of programs for working horses, donkeys and mules to help them become (and remain) healthy and happy now and in the long-term, which also benefits the very poor families who depend on those animals to help them earn a living.

Making a difference in the lives of these animals benefits the very poor families who depend on them to earn a living.
