The 2004 Burns Amendment, added to the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, significantly weakened federal protections for wild horses. This legislation allows the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to sell older and unadoptable animals at livestock auctions, where they are often purchased by kill buyers. Conrad Burns slipped this amendment in without review or approval.

Dear [Recipient's Name], As a dedicated constituent, I am calling on you to uphold the vital prohibition on funding for the killing of healthy wild horses and burros in the fiscal year 2027 Appropriations bill. The majority of Americans firmly oppose slaughter, and it’s imperative we maintain this safeguard!
Maintaining a prohibition on euthanizing healthy wild horses and burros and prohibiting sales without limits (slaughter) is of paramount importance. The American public will not tolerate the wholesale disposal of our wild horses and burros.
Call the US Capitol switchboard at
202-224-3121 and demand federal protections while urging an end to inhumane roundups. Let’s unify for change—our horses need us now! Thank you!

SAFE ACT (Save America's Forgotten Equines), HR 1661
The Save America's Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act (H.R. 1661 / S. 775) is bipartisan federal legislation that permanently bans the slaughter of horses for human consumption in the United States and prohibits the export of live horses to Canada and Mexico for the same purpose.
Americans overwhelmingly oppose horse slaughter. Please make sure the Farm Bill reflects that by carrying SAFE across the finish line.
