We are equine advocates who understand in order to change hearts, minds and laws to protect America's equines, an innovative fact-based narrative is needed. We aim to bring together equine thought leaders, stake holders and corporations to help draft solutions to humanely assist America's underestimated equines. Join us.
We are pleased to announce the launch of SAFEACT.org supported by many including Utah’s top equine sanctuaries. The website is a national appeal to encourage legislators to pass the Save America’s Forgotten Equines Act (SAFE Act HR 3475/S 2037) which will ban the export of American equines to foreign meat plants for slaughter and protect America’s most vulnerable horses. SAFEACT.org was created by Utah-based Equine IQ and designer Allison Walton to provide constituents a convenient opportunity to share their support of the ban with a few quick steps.
The user-friendly site is operable nationwide and quickly identifies legislators based on simple user inputs using artificially intelligent technology from leading Silicon Valley developer Legisletter.org to script messages to legislators. Users will also have the option to personalize their messages. Any organization wishing to support the SAFE Act can forward the SAFEACT.org site link to their constituents. In return, the site will offer back links to supporters free of charge. Just send a quick email to info@equineiq.org. The site’s one objective is to allow constituents to be heard and help pass legislation to ban the export of American equines for slaughter. Please visit and share!
According to the USDA, 92.3% of equines in the slaughter pipeline are young and healthy. American horses are icons of freedom and deserve to live with dignity in the United States - the country they helped to explore and found. Keep America's Horses SAFE in the USA.
We all need to pitch in to help Pass the SAFE Act. Visit SAFEACT.org to quickly send a letter to your legislators opposing the export of American horses for slaughter. To date, 879 letters have been sent from 41 states. It’s a great start but we need mass. Underrepresented states include Alabama, Hawaii, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia. Please share with your friends especially in those states! Any organizations that wish to be featured can email info@equineiq.org. This is all for the horses and they need our help and collaboration! Let’s get this done!!
Former world champion athletes, motivational speakers and equine advocates Siri Lindley and Rebekah Keat of Horses In Our Hands endorse SAFEACT.org. “Passing the SAFE Act is a must for ending the brutal practice of horse slaughter. It is un-American to allow our iconic equines to suffer such immeasurable pain and face such a horrific fate,” said Rebekah Keat. “Horses served our country, they are healers and are not bred for human consumption. It’s time to end this once and for all! Horses are in our hearts and their lives are in our hands,” Siri Lindley added.
