Help Stop a Cruel Horse Transport Practice
The bipartisan Horse Transportation Safety Act (H.R. 3623) has been reintroduced in the US House of Representatives. Led by Reps. Steve Cohen (D-TN), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Dina Titus (D-NV), this legislation would prohibit the interstate transport of horses in double-deck trailers, which do not provide adequate headroom for horses to stand upright. No horse should be forced to endure a long journey stuck in a cramped position that can cause permanent injury. Please contact your representative and ask them to cosponsor this bill.
