California Just Declared WAR on Horse Slaughter with new LAW

from Scholarly Equestrian · host thescholarlyequestrian23

California just made history for horse protection. Governor Gavin Newsom has officially signed AB 128 into law, creating stronger protections for horses sold through auctions and targeting loopholes connected to the horse slaughter pipeline. In this video, we break down everything you need to know about California’s new horse protection law, why animal welfare advocates are calling it a historic victory, and why some people in the horse industry remain divided over the decision. We also discuss the controversy surrounding the U.S. Forest Service and the planned sale of nearly 1,000 wild horses from California’s Modoc National Forest, the ongoing debate over horse slaughter in America, and whether other states could soon adopt similar laws. Could this law change the future of horse welfare in the United States forever? Watch until the end and let us know your thoughts in the comments. 🐴 Should every state adopt laws like AB 128? 🐴 Do you think this will actually reduce horse slaughter? 🐴 Or are there bigger issues facing the horse industry? 👇 Share your opinion below. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 California Just Made History 01:12 What Is AB 128? 02:40 The Horse Slaughter Pipeline Explained 03:31 Why Horse Advocates Support This Law This video is for educational purposes and constitutes Fair Use under Section 107 of the US Copyright Act of 1976.
