Horse slaughter is unconscionable and needs to be stopped. In addition to being morally and ethically unacceptable, horse meat is harmful and toxic to consume. I am frankly shocked that the SAFE Act has not been long ago passed for public safety reasons. What are you waiting for?REPORT COMMENTS

As an American citizen who pays taxes and votes, I demand that the SAFE ACT be passed by Congress immediately. I am tired of seeing horses standing in auction houses with kill buyers at the ready to take them across the border to horrific deaths so that people in other countries can eat meat that is unsafe for them consume. This is wrong and it needs to stop immediately.REPORT COMMENTS

Horses are not raised for human consumption! Not passing the SAFE Act is a recipe for disaster for this country (as is the ending the COOL law [country of origin labeling], thanks to Congress' repeal of the law and President Obama signing it in December 2015). We must protect our food supply. Pass the SAFE Act!REPORT COMMENTS

Large numbers of horses are often bought at US auctions by ?kill buyers? whose sole intention is to send them directly to slaughter. There is no requirement for a medical history to be supplied to the new owner; however documents are filled out at the auction for any horse who has been bought by a kill buyers for slaughter at an EU-approved slaughterhouse in Canada or Mexico. These equine identification documents are usually completed by the auction house or kill buyer, individuals who have many times had the horse for 24 hours or less and know nothing about the horse?s lifetime medical treatment history. This raises real concern about the ease with which potentially unsafe drug residues could enter the human food chain and be exported for sale to EU markets. Congress must pass the SAFE Act now!REPORT COMMENTS
