Open Letter to the Industry: Permanently Prohibit the Slaughter of American Horses

Coady Media

After open letters to the industry Thursday from 1/ST President Aidan Butler and The Jockey Club backed the Save America's Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act, Breeders' Cup Limited also voiced support.

Breeders' Cup Limited supports the Save America's Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act, a bipartisan piece of legislation that would permanently prohibit the slaughter of American horses for human consumption and end their export for that purpose abroad. This measure represents a critical step toward ensuring all horses, regardless of their stage of life, are treated with decency and care.

Breeders' Cup Limited has long prioritized equine safety and welfare through industry-leading safety protocols, veterinary oversight, and collaboration with regulators. We join 1/ST Racing, The Jockey Club, and more than 225 co-sponsors of the SAFE Act in urging Congress to enact this important legislation, reaffirming a national commitment to the humane treatment of horses.
