THE TOOLKIT
The fight to end horse slaughter isn’t just waged in Congress—it’s fought in conversations, the media, and the court of public opinion. The opposition thrives on myths and misinformation. Our job is to replace their talking points with the truth.
This toolkit gives you everything you need: updated SAFE Act stats, concise talking points, fact-based rebuttals, and shareable graphics. Use them to stay on message, speak with confidence, and help end the slaughter pipeline for good.
STEPS FOR ACTION WEEK: OCTOBER 27
1. Send a Message
Contact your Members of Congress. It takes less than two minutes—and even if you’ve written before, do it again. Volume matters.
2. Follow-Up with a Call (Important!)
Dial the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to be directed and urge your lawmakers to support the SAFE Act to permanently end the slaughter of America’s horses.
All you have to say: “Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [City, State]. I’m calling to ask [Senator/Representative Name] to support the SAFE Act to permanently ban the slaughter of American horses. Please stand with the majority of Americans who want to protect our horses from this cruelty.”
3. Download and Share
Sharing on social media is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to raise awareness and push the SAFE Act forward. The below sections includes ready-to-post messages and downloadable graphics for Instagram, Facebook, and more—use them to educate, inspire, and drive action.
COPY AND PASTE THE TEXT
For ease, choose from one of the pre-written text for social media to copy and paste.
Every year, over 20,000 American horses—mustangs, racehorses, ponies, and foals—are shipped to slaughter across our borders. This isn’t euthanasia. It’s exploitation. Let’s shut the pipeline down. LostHorses.org #TheLostHorses #SAFEAct #EndHorseSlaughter
The SAFE Act would ban horse slaughter in the U.S. and stop the export of horses to Canada and Mexico for killing. Over 80% of Americans support this. It’s time for Congress to act. LostHorses.org #TheLostHorses
Kill pens don’t just take “unwanted” horses. They take jumpers, mustangs, therapy horses—even yearlings and minis. No horse is safe until the SAFE Act becomes law. LostHorses.org #SAFEAct #TheLostHorses
Horses aren’t raised for food. They’re companions, athletes, healers, friends. They deserve protection—not slaughter. Take action today: LostHorses.org #BanHorseSlaughter #TheLostHorses
