    How would a permanent ban on horse slaughter affect rural farmers and ranchers who currently rely on that market for aging or unwanted animals?

  2. 02

    What evidence supports the claim that banning equine slaughter aligns with current U.S. public sentiment about horse treatment?

  3. 03

    Should Native American religious exemptions apply equally to all groups, or does the bill's current framing create fairness concerns?
