SAFE Act of 2025
Sponsored By: Representative Buchanan
In Committee
Summary
Prohibits slaughter of equines for human consumption. This bill would expand the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 so that federal law treats horses and other equines the same way it treats dogs and cats regarding slaughter for human food. It accomplishes this by changing the statute's wording from “a dog or cat” to “a dog, cat, or equine,” thereby bringing equines under the existing ban.
