A Humane World, breaking news on animal protection issues

The Humane Society of america and Humane Society Legislative Fund have supported horse racing reform for years, and we’ve been hard at work to ensure that horses get the protections they deserve. We offered concepts on the long-established Horseracing Integrity Act that was reintroduced last year, helped build a robust showing of bipartisan cosponsors, worked with House subcommittee chairwoman Jan Schakowsky, D Ill. , to ensure a compelling hearing on this legislation in January, worked with Sen. McConnell to strengthen his bill and mitigate any undesirable consequences before he introduced it in advance this month, and then worked with House members to ensure that their version aligned with the better Senate bill, thereby boosting options that horse racing reform will become law this year.
