New initiative registered: ‘End The Horse Slaughter Age’

On 22 March the Commission registered a European citizens' initiative entitled ‘End The Horse Slaughter Age’.

It calls for new laws to ban the slaughter of horses, stop long-distance transportation of horses across Europe for slaughter and to protect horses from being compelled to do excess work or hard training.

This is the third initiative registered in 2023. Its organisers have six months now to choose the moment to start the collection of support.
