This bill would change the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (7 U.S.C. 2160) to prohibit the slaughter of equines for human consumption. It amends section 12515 by adding equines to the section heading and by replacing the phrase "a dog or cat" with "a dog, cat, or equine." The text of the bill is limited to that amendment.
If the bill becomes law, the federal statutory provision that already bans slaughter of dogs and cats for human consumption would expressly include horses and other equines. The amendment updates the wording of the cited section to cover equines in the same way it currently covers dogs and cats.
