The SAFE Act has been reintroduced into the 117th Congress. Introduced in the House by Rep. Schakowsky, Janice D. [D-IL-9 on 5/19/2021 the bill has been given the number HR 3355. As of yet, there is no corresponding number in the Senate (we will update you when there is a number).

H.R.3355 – To amend the Horse Protection Act to prohibit the shipping, transporting, moving, delivering, receiving, possessing, purchasing, selling, or donation of horses and other equines to be slaughtered for human consumption, and for other purposes.

Last year, the bill received 237 co-sponsors but never made it to the floor for a vote.

There is a real chance we can see SAFE through to becoming law this year. SAFE will protect all horses in the U.S. After title (adoption or sale) wild horses become domestics under law. This bill will make transport for the purpose of slaughter illegal. The full text of the bill is not available yet. We will update you when it becomes available.
