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.

Ban on selling or slaughtering horse meat
If enacted, this would extend the dog-and-cat slaughter ban to horses, donkeys, and mules. Slaughterhouses, meat processors, and sellers would be barred from slaughtering or selling equine meat for people to eat. Equine owners and brokers would not be able to market animals for human meat. This section of the bill does not list an effective date or new penalties.
