Bran Manor Stables and Rescue Sanctuary

It took a WORM to at least temporarily stop United States horses from being shipped to Mexico for slaughter! I’m sure this certainly won’t last… But it just goes to show you what they have said is unstoppable is now stoppable!!!! Thank you little screwworm.

IMPORTANT NEWS. An immediate halt on equine exports to Mexico due to the New World screwworm situation has been issued by APHIS.

The suspension includes horses exported for slaughter, breeding, work, sport, exhibition, and transit purposes.

While the duration of this measure remains unknown, it means that horses cannot currently be exported from the United States to Mexico through these channels. APHIS has not yet provided a timetable for resumption.

We will share updates as additional information becomes available.

As The Wild Beauty Foundation continues to fight for passage of the SAFE Act, including helping advance core protections through the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee alongside our partners, this development underscores an important reality: the horse slaughter pipeline can be stopped, should be stopped, and must be stopped.

Thank you for being part of this journey, and for standing with The Lost Horses.
