Just weeks ago, Joe was packed onto a slaughter-bound truck headed for Canada. Today, he’s safe and enjoying life with his herd. He’s 1 of 25 horses intercepted in NY after an @AnimalsAngelsUS investigation alerted law enforcement. Support the survivors: info.animalsangels.org/25-ho…

Horse Slaughter Update: We're tracking an increase in U.S. horses shipped to Canada for slaughter in 2026. But despite rumors, the numbers do not show Canada replacing the thousands of horses that normally crossed into Mexico. We'll keep following the facts—not rumors.

Good news: Presidio Export Pen is empty. USDA Screwworm restrictions have halted horse exports to Mexico. Claims that horses are stranded or starving at border pens? Verify them before paying to “rescue” a horse. We’ll keep reporting what investigators find—not rumors.

4 horses are dead. Body cam footage from Merced County Sheriffs shows what happened at Don Gatz's property. 1 horse reportedly survived for more than 40 minutes after being shot. Another required 6 gunshots before finally dying. Watch + sign the petition: info.animalsangels.org/4-hor…

Because of New World Screwworm concerns, horses can't currently move through the export pipeline to Mexican slaughter facilities. If someone claims a horse is "shipping to slaughter tomorrow," request documentation, & verify facts before sending money. aphis.usda.gov/animals/anima…

After years of investigations + relentless pressure, Bouvry Exports’ horse slaughter plant is finally shut down. But our fight isn't over. For the mothers + foals we documented through the years, let's keep fighting til horse slaughter ends + those behind the cruelty are stopped.

Nearly 5k wild horses entered Dennis Chavez’s slaughter pipeline in 2025 — many from tribal lands. Foals are being torn from their mothers and shipped across the country, ending up at auctions in MO — thin, sick, and in distress. Read more: info.animalsangels.org/chave…
