SAFE Act of 2025

This bill prohibits the slaughter of horses, ponies, and other equines for human consumption by amending existing federal law. It directly affects businesses or individuals currently involved in slaughtering equines for food, making such activity illegal under the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018. The key change updates a provision that previously banned slaughtering dogs and cats to now include equines, expanding the existing prohibition. This is a concrete policy change that bans a specific practice under federal law.
