Bill overview
This bill, the Save America’s Forgotten Equines Act of 2025, permanently bans the slaughter of horses and mules for human consumption. Currently, federal law prohibits the slaughter of dogs and cats for this purpose, and this bill extends that protection to equines. It aims to prevent the establishment of new horse slaughter facilities and prohibits the trade in equines intended for slaughter. Violators could face fines for engaging in these activities.
