Crucial new legislation, titled the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act (H.R. 1094/S. 541), was recently introduced in Congress that will protect consumers from toxic horsemeat and end the cruel slaughter of America's horses as well as their export for slaughter abroad.
Horse slaughter is fraught with terror, pain, and suffering. In the past, plants that existed in the U.S. had a history of polluting local water supplies, lowering property values, and were a drain on local economies. Horses are not raised for food and over the course of their lives are given a wide variety of drugs and veterinary treatments that make their meat unfit for human consumption.
Dear Legislator,
As your constituent, I urge you to please co-sponsor and support the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act, H.R. 1094/S. 541. I am staunchly against the cruel slaughter of American horses especially for comsumption as food.
