Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Make Moves To Address Slaughter Pipeline Issues Sponsored by:
Continuing to demonstrate its commitment to the health and welfare of thoroughbreds, the Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association (PHBA) today announced its endorsement of the John Stringer Rainey Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act.
The SAFE Act, named for the late South Carolina philanthropist and former director of the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, is legislation that would permanently end the slaughter of American horses for human consumption in the United States and abroad.
It also amends Title 18 of the U. S. Code by making it illegal to “possess, ship, transport, purchase, sell, deliver, or receive … any horse with the intent that it is to be slaughtered for human consumption,” with penalties that include fines and imprisonment.

A federal agency improperly green-lit two proposed research projects to kill wildlife in Colorado by failing to separately study and solicit public comment in an attempt to speed the projects along, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday.
U.S. District Court Senior Judge Marcia S. Krieger sided with a trio of nonprofit groups that sued the government over a Colorado Parks and Wildlife proposal to kill cougars and bears in two study locations. She also found the environmental assessment that formed a basis for the projectsâ approval failed to adequately analyze the populations of relevant animals or consider germane research.
