Dear John,

The next installment in the Claudia Miller Ignites Series on Animal Welfare focuses on America’s dirty little secret of horse slaughter for human consumption. Specifically, we’ll be addressing the export of thousands of healthy American horses to be butchered for meat in Mexico and then sent to foreign diners in Asia.

Please join us on Thursday, March 7, at 8 p.m. ET for Horse Slaughter: Ending America’s Secret Shame. Registration information is below.

If we are going to put a stop to the century-long era of slaughtering American horses for foreign consumers, we need your help.

The one-hour webinar will highlight the clandestine, shameful industry that exports thousands of American horses across the border into Canada and Mexico. Journeys of thousands of miles. No breaks from the confinement of jam-packed transport trucks. Deprived of food and water along the way and forced to stand on urine- and feces-covered floors.

One key solution? The SAFE Act . It would ban the slaughter of horses for human consumption both within the United States and abroad, specifically targeting live exports to our North American neighbors to the south and to the north. This legislation is a response to the alarming findings of a national investigation [[link removed]] conducted by the Center for a Humane Economy, which sheds light on the inhumane practices associated with the horse slaughter industry.

We are so close, so please join us to help us finish the job.

DATE: Thursday, March 7, 2024 TIME: 8 P.M. ET/5 P.M. PT [[link removed]]

We
are
getting
closer
to
winning.
The
horse
slaughter
industry
has
witnessed
a
significant
decline
over
the
years,
with
the
number
of
American
horses
slaughtered
annually
dropping
by
more
than
90%
since
1990
and
75%
since
2010.
But
let’s
be
clear:
trafficking
of
horses
for
slaughter
must
all
end.
For
us,
it’s
not
a
“win”
until
the
number
of
horses
butchered
for
foreign
commerce
is
ZERO.
*
The
inhumane
practices
of
kill
buyers
and
transporters.
We
will
highlight
the
gross
mistreatment
of
horses
destined
for
slaughter.
Animals
experience
neglect
and
suffering
throughout
the
process,
from
transport
to
holding
pens
and
slaughter
plants.
Injured
horses
are
left
untreated,
and
unsanitary
conditions
lead
to
the
spread
of
contagious
diseases.
*
The
impact
of
food
safety
concerns.
The
decline
in
foreign
markets'
import
of
horse
meat
is
partly
attributed
to
concerns
about
drug
residues
in
the
carcasses
of
horses
from
the
United
States.
Foreign
markets
have
scaled
back
imports
due
to
these
risks,
further
questioning
the
necessity
of
horse
slaughter
and
helping
make
the
case
that
the
entire
industry
needs
to
end.

Speakers include:

*
Wayne
Pacelle,
president,
Animal
Wellness
Action
and
the
Center
for
a
Humane
Economy
*
Fred
Hudson,
director
of

Welfare,

*
Joseph
