I was told that the Safe Act for equine protection died in Congress today. This was giving protections to wild horses. Ive been at work and cannot find anything in a quick search.
Id specifically like to know who or what killed the bill.
Thanks in advance for any help!!

House Energy & Commerce Committee kills the S.A.F.E Act
Nationwide Wild Horse Freedom Rally Calls for Ban on Export of Americas Horses, Domestic and Wild, for slaughter across US Borders!
Sept. 21, 2022 | EINPresswire.com/
Nationwide rallies have been scheduled months ago to take place across the country on Friday, September 23 and Saturday, September 24 in support of the S.A.F.E. Act HR 3355 which was awaiting markup by the House Energy and Commerce Committee to go to the House floor for a vote.
The committee slaughtered the hopes of advocates in the midnight hour when they chose to exclude it from the markup calendar and continue to allow tens of thousands U.S. horses, domestic and wild, to be transported across our borders to be slaughtered.
