NEWS UPDATE, JAN 14, 2014!!

 The U.S. Congress reinstates the defunding language in its Consolidated Appropriations Act (aka Omnibus Bill), released late last night. The language effectively bans the slaughtering of horses in the U.S. by preventing the U.S. Department of Agriculture from expending funds to place inspectors in horse slaughter facilitates. USDA inspectors are required by federal law for the plants to operate in interstate commerce and effective the defunding language ensures no horse slaughter facilities can open in the United States.
The defunding language had been in effect every year since 2006, but removed in 2013. Wild for Life Foundation and the Saving America’s Horses Initiative urges Congress to pass the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act, which would place a permanent federal ban on horse slaughter in the U.S. and prohibit America’s wild and domestic horses from being exported to Canada or Mexico for slaughter.
