An amendment to HR 3684, an infrastructure bill, would ban the transportation of horses across state lines or to Canada or Mexico for slaughter for human consumption, according to a news release by Animal Wellness Action.
The measure follows reports of ‘horse laundering‘ associated with the government’s adoption incentive program.
A related bill, the SAFE Act, has been stymied by agriculture interests and pro-slaughter members of Congress.
