Friend: Imagine being confused, dehydrated and absolutely terrified as you’re crammed into a small trailer. You’re trapped in the dark, being driven miles across the border to a terrible fate.

That’s the reality horses who have been sent to slaughter are facing. And as if the transportation wasn’t cruel enough, they end up at a slaughter plant, where they rarely experience quick, painless deaths due to their anatomy and instinctual flight response to danger. It’s truly horrific.

At Humane World Action Fund, formerly called Humane Society Legislative Fund, we believe it doesn’t have to be this way. That’s why we’re fighting to permanently ban domestic horse slaughter in the U.S. and stop the export of American horses for slaughter abroad to protect vulnerable horses from a brutal death. But we need your help, friend.

Will you make a donation now to Humane World Action Fund to help pass strong protections for horses and fight to end the root causes of animal cruelty and suffering?

Even though horse slaughter plants have not operated in the U.S. for years, there are sstill thousands of American horses being transported across our borders to their deaths.

Right now, we have the opportunity to put an end to this by passing the Save America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act, which would ban the export of American horses for slaughter abroad and keep horse slaughter plants permanently closed on U.S. soil.

But we can’t make this legislation and other critical animal welfare bills a priority in Congress without your support. So please, friend: Take the next step and make a donation of $20 or more today to protect horses from torment and painful slaughter and end animal cruelty everywhere.

Thank you for your compassionate support for suffering animals,

Sara Amundson
President
Humane World Action Fund
