A controversial bill is headed to the US senate that has the approval of The Humane Society of the United States, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and American Farm Bureau Federation but isn’t approved by the American Wild Horse Campaign.
