Amends a provision of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 to change the covered-animal wording so it reads “a dog, cat, or equine,” explicitly addressing the prohibition on slaughter of equines for human consumption. The change clarifies which animals are covered by the existing ban and updates the statutory language to include equines alongside dogs and cats.

The amendment is a single, narrowly focused change to statutory text; it does not create new programs or funding, but it makes the prohibition on equine slaughter for human consumption explicit in law.
