Pass the Safe Act Now (2021)

Clare Staples, founder of Skydog Sanctuary and Jamie Baldanza, a wild horse advocate, photographer, and filmmaker, teamed up to create their second film to raise awareness for The SAFE Act. Narrated by actress and horse advocate, Daryl Hannah. The Save America's Forgotten Equines or SAFE Act would permanently ban horse slaughter in the U.S. and end the export of horses for slaughter abroad. The bill was introduced on May 19th 2021 as H.R. 3355 by Reps. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) and Vern Buchanan (R-FL). #PassSAFEActNow is the story of three, young, mustang mares who end up in a kill pen in Kansas and find their way to Skydog Sanctuary. Through their story Clare and Jamie hope to bring awareness to the issue so people will take action and call their representatives. Celebrities have voiced their support for The SAFE Act through the short film on social media, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Gerard Butler, Leona Lewis, Kristin Davis, Kelly Reilly, Josh Groban, Julianne Hough, Bailey Chase, Dougray Scott, Beth Behrs, Whitney Cummings, Nikki Reed, Rachel Hunter, Kevin Mckidd, Kaley Cuoco, Ray Abruzzo, Wendie Malick, Michael Nouri, Ireland Basinger Baldwin, Matthew Rhys, Bonnie Aarons, Gary Dourdan, Christa Miller, Katie Lowes, Cedric the Entertainer, Arielle Kebbel, Daryl Hannah, Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real, and Georgina Bloomberg.
