The law has finally passed and our horses are officially protected from slaughter. My heart is full knowing these beautiful animals will now get the second chance they deserve. We will stay watchful to ensure these new rules are followed.
Retired race horses are killed and sent to slaughter houses to become pet food every day. Most are only four years old when killed. They never live tell the age of thirty or more.
The very few that survive are sent to rescue orginizations and live a happy life. Make it illegal to turn horses into food. Let it become the law that the horse gets another chance. That the owner has to try to find it a new home. It could even be at a rescue. It would save hundreds, even thousands of horses a year. Your signature could save a young horse.
Seeing this groundswell of support brings me so much hope for the horses that deserve a dignified retirement. Knowing so many people care about these animals provides the strength I need to push forward with this fight.

Seeing one hundred people care about these horses as much as I do feels incredible. This number reminds me that we can actually protect them from such a cruel fate.
