On Wednesday, September 7, at 3 p.m. EST, the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations will mark-up their final version of the Agriculture Appropriations Act.

In past years, the Agricultural Appropriations Act has included a legislative rider that prevented the USDA from paying the salary of any employee to inspect horse processing facilities. This back room provision was included at the urging of animal rights activists and has had severe consequences on the horse industry. The rider effectively ensures no facilities can humanely process horses within the United States. As a direct result of this legislative rider, the Government Accountability Office has found the unintended consequences include a sizeable economic impact on the horse industry and incidents of inhumane treatment of horses has risen. The facts are in, the restriction is hurting industry and hurting animal welfare.

It is time for senators to stand up for the working men and women in the agricultural industry. Call your senator today.
