THE EQUINE PROTECTION PACKAGE
You can support work on the ground by alerting your legislators that more protections for America’s most vulnerable horses are needed now. The Equine Protection Package helps to protect America’s Shadow Herd by supporting three key pieces of legislation:
SAFE ACT (Save America's Forgotten Equines), HR 1661
The Save America's Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act (H.R. 1661 / S. 775) is bipartisan federal legislation that permanently bans the slaughter of horses for human consumption in the United States and prohibits the export of live horses to Canada and Mexico for the same purpose.
BUILD America 250 Act incl. the Van Drew- Titus Amendment, HR 8870
The Van Drew-Titus Amendment is a bipartisan measure approved by the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee that permanently prohibits the transport of horses to slaughter for human consumption and bans the use of dangerous double-decker trailers for equine transport. It was incorporated into the five-year surface transportation reauthorization bill (H.R. 8870), also known as the BUILD America 250 Act.
Wild Horse & Burro Act, HR 4356
The bipartisan renewed Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act (H.R. 4356). aims to amend the original 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act by prohibiting the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) from using helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft for animal roundups.
