Slaughter Interdiction for Wild Horses
Embedded Files
Preventing horses from moving from 'kill pen' livestock sales lots to slaughter trucks is well within reach. The BLM maintains an extensive WHBPS database. The details of each animal's microchip, freezemark, and buyer are easily accessed by most BLM employees.
If Animal Advocates in possession of freezemarks could only access the data - they could inform law enforcement locally of the violation of the AIP agreement. IF ONLY.
Well then there is a reason for FOIA. Results are starting to arrive.

Animal Wellness Action is working to end the slaughter of American equines in the upcoming Farm Bill and take horse meat off the table. America was built on the backs of horses, and in 2023, we stand a great chance at stopping the abuse of these magnificent animals. It’s time to take aim at ending the live export of horses to slaughter in Canada and Mexico to be served up as slabs of meat on dinner plates in countries like China and Japan.

In the late 1980s, roughly 350,000 American equines were funneled annually into the horse slaughter pipeline. Even the 1986 Kentucky Derby Ferdinand was slaughtered in Japan. Clearly no horse is safe from this predatory industry.
