Horses Are In Our Hands
Horses Are in Our Hands - In Our Hands Action Fund is a federally registered 501(c)(4) advocacy organization dedicated to permanently ending horse slaughter in the United States, and the shipment of all equines to foreign countries for slaughter!
Every 20 minutes, an American horse is shipped into the slaughter pipeline. These horses are transported long distances to foreign facilities where they are slaughtered for human consumption—a practice that raises serious concerns regarding animal welfare, public health, and ethical responsibility.
Ending horse slaughter requires strong federal leadership and effective advocacy. Our organization works directly in Washington, D.C., with experienced legislative professionals to educate lawmakers, build bipartisan support, and advance meaningful policy solutions.
Central to this effort is the SAFE Act (Save America’s Forgotten Equines Act), federal legislation that would permanently prohibit the export of American horses for slaughter and protect them from this inhumane industry. Through sustained advocacy and education, our team has already helped secure critical congressional support for this bill.
Public awareness and engagement are essential to passing federal legislation. By supporting In Our Hands Action Fund, you contribute directly to legislative advocacy, policymaker education, and strategic efforts to ensure the SAFE Act becomes law. Supporters also receive updates on legislative progress and key developments in Congress.
This is a pivotal moment for American horses. With informed advocacy, public engagement, and decisive legislative action, we can end horse slaughter once and for all.
Join us in advancing federal policy that protects America’s horses.

Please do all you can to help the SAFE ACT pass. I have a kill pen horse, 25 years old, and know all about what happens at these awful kill lots. Horses are starved, get very sick with no vet care, and have to fight for their food. And being sent to Mexico is even worse. Horses die in transport from being sick, no water or food, and pack in trucks like sardines. The ASPCA has turned a blind eye on these kill lots and what happens there. It’s all heartbreaking!! Over 80% of Americans do not believe in horse slaughter. Why does this legislation not pass them? Let’s do it now!

Siri -heard your story yesterday in unblinded mastery Stopped in the middle of walking a lake almost fell getting to the wall on the side and bawled listening to what these horses are going through. Amazing the decline since in the numbers this year. hoping to help get it to zero!! Looking to see if there are other ways to help. I Live north of Boston. Like you no horse experience but Jane always loved them!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to help you save as many of these magnificent horses as you can. With your help I have been able to contact the representatives from my state as well as writing letters to the editor of several newspapers in my area. The work you are doing is very important to me. I wish I could donate more to this very worthy cause.
