Ask your U.S. representatives to support the Horse Transportation Safety Act
This action is for US residents only.
Horses are routinely transported in double-deck trailers — motor vehicles containing two or more levels stacked on top of one another. Cramped and sometimes unable to stand upright, horses endure long, painful journeys and may suffer serious injuries.
The Horse Transportation Safety Act (H.R. 4241) would prohibit the transportation of horses in double-deck trailers in interstate commerce. Please ask your U.S. representatives to co-sponsor H.R. 4241 today.
