Friend,

Horses continue to face many threats in the U.S. and beyond—they need stronger federal protections now. Make your gift of $20 or more today to protect horses and all animals from harm.

There are many ways the federal government can act to protect horses, and with your support we are keeping up the pressure to ensure they act on the below:

• Under the Horse Protection Act, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has a legal obligation to protect horses from soring. But the USDA has completely abdicated its responsibility to protect horses by refusing to implement changes to fix gaps in the Horse Protection Act regulations that could finally put an end to this cruelty. So we’ve sued the USDA for its failure to protect horses.
• The Save America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act would ban domestic horse slaughter in the United States and stop the export of American horses for slaughter abroad, ending suffering for countless horses. We’re calling on Congress to pass this critical legislation to end the suffering of horses.

We must hold the government accountable and make animals’ lives a priority: Please, rush a gift of $20 or more to Humane World Action Fund, formerly Humane Society Legislative Fund, today. Every dollar helps us stop the abuse of horses, and all animals, so they can live healthy and full lives free from needless pain.

Thank you,

Sara Amundson
President
Humane World Action Fund
