Federal Legislation

Horse SlaughterS 1176 (Horse Slaughter) • H.R. 2966 (Horse Slaughter)

Urge your senators and representatives to get this legislation out of committee and on to floor where it can be voted on and passed into law. We need to stop the slaughter of horses for human consumption. And if you're planning to sell your horse, be sure to use our special Bill of Sale to prevent your horse from going to slaughter in the future.

Tripping

Horse tripping is the practice of roping the front or hind legs of a galloping horse --
causing it to trip or lose its balance and come crashing to the ground --
for the purposes of entertainment or sport. This cruel and inhumane activity is practiced in 3 of the 9 events held in the charreada, or Mexican-style rodeo. The tripping is intentional, and points are awarded for dropping the horse.
