Bill > S775

This bill, known as the Save America's Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act of 2025, proposes to amend the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 to prohibit the slaughter of horses (equines) for human consumption. Specifically, the bill modifies an existing section of law that previously only addressed the slaughter of dogs and cats by expanding its scope to include horses. By inserting language that adds "equines" alongside dogs and cats, the legislation aims to prevent horse slaughter for food purposes in the United States. This change would effectively make it illegal to slaughter horses for human consumption, addressing concerns about animal welfare and the treatment of horses. The bill represents a legislative effort to protect horses from being processed as a food source, reflecting growing public sentiment against the practice of horse slaughter.
