Thank You for Sponsoring the SAFE Act to Ban Horse Slaughter!

Dear Representative,
As your constituent and as a supporter of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), I want to thank you for cosponsoring H.R. 113, the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act to ban horse slaughter for human consumption. This important measure will finally ban the horrific practice of horse slaughter once and for all by keeping cruel, toxic horse slaughter plants from reopening on U.S. soil, and will stop the export of American horses to other countries for slaughter. Animal protection is a priority for me, and I appreciate you taking a stand on such an important issue.

Dear Senator,
As your constituent and as a supporter of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), I want to thank you for cosponsoring S. 1706, the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act to ban horse slaughter for human consumption. This important measure will finally ban the horrific practice of horse slaughter once and for all by keeping cruel, toxic horse slaughter plants from reopening on U.S. soil, and will stop the export of American horses to other countries for slaughter. Animal protection is a priority for me, and I appreciate you taking a stand on such an important issue.

Please Cosponsor the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act

Dear Representative,
As your constituent who cares about horses and our food supply, I am writing to ask you to cosponsor H.R. 113, the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act. This legislation will prohibit the inhumane slaughter of American horses for human consumption and also protect consumers from eating toxic food products. Horse slaughter is a cruel, unnecessary, predatory industry that has no domestic market and threatens human health. Eighty percent of American voters oppose the slaughter of horses for human consumption, and yet each year approximately 75,000 American horses are trucked to Mexico and Canada where they are brutally slaughtered. Please consider the following facts: - American horse meat is unsafe for human consumption. Because horses are not raised as food animals in this country, they are given medications and other toxic substances that are expressly forbidden for use in animals intended for human consumption. There is currently no system in place to trace the drug histories of American horses. - Horse slaughter is inherently cruel and inhumane. Because horses' instinctual flight response makes them ill-suited for stunning, they often endure repeated blows and sometimes remain conscious during their dismemberment. The low demand for this industry means that horses are trucked long distances without food, water or rest. Many die or are injured in transit. Animal protection is a priority for me, and I appreciate you taking a stand on such an important issue.
