Senate Approves Bill to Save Horses from Slaughterhouses
The U.S. Senate passed an amendment today by a stunning 68-29 vote that
prohibits the use of any federal taxpayer funds to slaughter horses for
food exports.

These measures will effectively stop America’s horses from being killed
in three slaughterhouses in the U.S. that slaughter horses — two in Texas
and one in Illinois.

The amendment also stops horses from being shipped to slaughterhouses
in Canada or Mexico so that their meat can be exported to foreign
countries.
