This invitation only summit will unite the equine community’s foremost experts to speak about horse slaughter, raise awareness and encourage grassroots efforts to ban this practice, which has recently gained legislative approval to be reinstated. In attendance will be members of the press, lawmakers and those involved with animal welfare and the horse industry.

“Equine Advocates is unequivocally against equine slaughter for human consumption – and it will be a travesty if horse slaughter were to return to the US,” said Wagner. “This will happen if special interest groups twist the issue and have their way through their lobbyists in Congress. We must act now to stop them.”
