Each year, tens of thousands of American horses—riding horses, carriage horses, race horses, wild horses, and children’s ponies—are inhumanely transported and slaughtered, their meat shipped to places like France, Italy, and Japan for human consumption. Help us end horse slaughter.

Purchased by slaughterhouse middlemen at auction, horses are shipped long distances in cramped trailers without food, water, or rest. The majority of these horses are young, healthy animals who could go on to lead productive lives with loving owners.

We have made ending the slaughter of America's horses for human consumption one of our top priorities.

You can help by asking your senators and representative to support The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act (H.R. 503/S. 727). It will ban the barbaric slaughter of American horses for human consumption, including the export of live horses across our borders for slaughter.
