📣📣BREAKING NEWS

SLAUGHTER PIPELINE SHUT DOWN TO MEXICO🚨

The horse slaughter southern border export pipeline to Mexico has effectively ground to a halt due to the New World Screwworm emergency and border livestock restrictions.

👉As many of you are aware we have been shouting about the risk and dangers of screwworm for the last few months. We even did a podcast that went viral two days ago (shared by the head of MAHA ) about the threat to our entire livestock industry.

👉We also believe this is a HUGE opportunity to finally pass legislation and end this cruel practice once and for all.

FACT ‼️- The team at Horse Plus Humane (and our team more recently in DC) have been warning about this to Texas Gov for over a year! has had over 70 meetings within Texas Gov officials about the risk of Screwworm within!
🙏🏻Huge kudos for bringing the awareness needed!

👉Finally all of our voices have been heard we have momentum and the universe is supporting us all who want this done!

⚠️Now is the moment Congress MUST act⚠️

✅ Keep the Horse Slaughter Prevention Amendment intact

✅ Protect American Equines

✅ Protect animal health and agricultural security

✅ End the slaughter pipeline permanently

📞 Call Congress: (202) 224-3121

Tell your lawmakers:

“Keep the Horse Slaughter Prevention Amendment in the Build America 250 Act and permanently ban the transport of American horses for slaughter.”
