Legislation
The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act (H.R. 503/S. 727) will end the slaughter of horses for human consumption and the domestic and international transport of live horses or horseflesh for human consumption.
The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act (H.R. 503) was introduced in the U.S. House on January 14, 2009 by Congressman John Conyers (D-MI) and Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN). An identical version (S. 727) was introduced in the Senate on March 26, 2009 by Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and veterinarian and Senator John Ensign (R-NV).
