Legislative Victory!
New York will become the fifth state to shut down the slaughter pipeline (to Canada and Mexico).
Bill (S2163/A5109) that would “prohibit any person from possessing, selling, importing, etc, a horse or horseflesh if such person knows or should have known that any part of such horse or horseflesh will be used for human or animal consumption” has passed both houses of the NYS Legislature and will only need the governor’s signature to become law!
As we strive for change it becomes evident that these individual victories collectively contribute to a broader movement. State-level triumphs amplify the impact and significance of animal rights initiatives. With each step forward, we can celebrate these wins for horses and recognize the increasing momentum toward a more compassionate world for all animals.
Horseracing Wrongs actively supported the legislation, with a memo and lobbying – office visits, phone calls, etc. We thank our passionate New York supporters and everyone who made calls, sent emails and spread the word to get this passed!
Triple Crown Billboards and Ad Campaign!
Thanks to your support, we have launched impactful mobile billboards (4 total!) at the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes along with a large-scale ad campaigns in Baltimore and New York City! Millions of people were exposed to the message: Horseracing is Animal Cruelty, Horseracing Kills Horses.
Media Breakthroughs!
Since January, Horseracing Wrongs has received extensive media coverage, with nearly 30 media outlets shining a spotlight on our cause! Features on ESPN, CNN, USA Today and op-eds on MSNBC, Katie Couric and The Baltimore Sun. This level of attention is a testament to our efforts in raising awareness and advocating for the end of horseracing. See all it all here!
