232 cosponsors for the SAFE Act.

Momentum is building across the country, and across the globe, to protect America’s wild and domestic horses.  Through The Lost Horses campaign, we are proud to advance this work and help create lasting change.

Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA) has now cosponsored the legislation, bringing the total to 232.  She joins original sponsor and tireless equine champion Congressman Vern Buchanan (R-FL).

The next few weeks are crucial.  The House returned August 31, and the Senate returns September 14.  Transportation authorization expires September 30, with an extension through December 11 proposed.

WBF and our coalition partners led the effort to move core SAFE Act language out of committee in the bipartisan transportation bill.  Now we need continued support as it awaits consideration by the full House.

What can you do, right now?

1. Send a message to Congress in two minutes at www.losthorses.org.

2. Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask for your Representative and both Senators.

“Hi, I’m _____, a constituent from _____.”
“Please cosponsor, if needed, and support the SAFE Act, H.R. 1661 in the House and S. 775 in the Senate.  Please help end horse slaughter and the export pipeline. Thank you.”

1. Are you part of AHA, AQHA, APHA, ApHC, or another breed association?  Ask its position on the SAFE Act, and why.  Tell them the slaughter pipeline must close.

2. Kids and teens, handwrite a letter to Congress. Your voices cut through in a remarkable way!

3. Add your name to the Open Letter: www.losthorses.org/signon

4. Share The Lost Horses PSAs. This is not simply about tens of thousands of horses.  It’s about every single life mattering.

5. If you can, please donate so we can keep going: www.losthorses.org/support

Thank you for being part of this journey, and for standing with The Lost Horses.
