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.

Stop the agenda of the welfare ranchers who slop at the public trough for little or free and resent the horses getting a little grass and water.
