## Resource

New York State Police bust a major horse smuggling ring—25 horses seized en route to Canada for slaughter, run by Pennsylvania livestock owner Bruce Rotz. The operation, tipped off last month, led to the arrest of driver Robert Seitz and marks the first enforcement of New York’s 2022 horse-slaughter ban. Horses are now safe at a NY farm, with federal and nonprofit partners helping shut down this illegal trade—sending a clear message: horse slaughter for food is no longer tolerated.
