US HR 875 is a bill that aims to prevent human health threats posed by the consumption of equines raised in the United States. However upon further inspection it is a result of when horse slaughter houses were removed from the United States and horses began to be shipped to Canada and Mexico for slaughter. This falls out of USDA jurisdiction.

I implore you to read up more about this topic, as it is a hot button issue for Americans who do not wish to consume horse meat.
