End Horse Slaughter Cruelty

End Horse Slaughter Cruelty

 

Every year, over 150,000 American horses, both wild and domestic, are crossing the United States borders on both north and south sides to meet horrific deaths for their flesh. Please join with us to put pressure on the government to pass the SAFE Act. The SAFE Act will prohibit the slaughter of horses for human consumption in the U.S. and their export for that purpose.

Horse slaughter is especially barbaric because horses, skittish by nature, are extremely difficult to stun. They often endure repeated blows to the head with a bolt gun, or their spinal cord is hacked at with a machete over and over again until they fall down. The horses are sometimes alive and kicking when they are hung up by their back legs while dismembered and skinned. USDA inspectors cited rampant cruelty violations at plants previously operating in the U.S.

This is not how American horses (who have already had everything taken from them by the humans they’ve encountered in their lives) should spend their final moments. Horses are incredibly intuitive and intelligent and they know in the those final hours exactly what is about to happen to them as they are run through long concrete corridors and pushed forward to their deaths in kill boxes at the hands of foreign workers. They die in terror and agony in these terrible places and we want you to help us to stop this torture and abuse. Join with us in telling Congress to pass the SAFE Act and to stop slaughtering America’s wild horses and donkeys.
