Absolutely disgraceful. Another campaign promise from Obama gone. Both democrats and republicans should be ashamed of themselves. Last edited by Kasept : 11-30-2011 at 11:12 AM.

The argument for bringing back slaughter plants has hinged on the belief that without the slaughter option abuse neglect and abandonment incidents will increase.
The GAO report used to repeal the ban provided statistics showing that in fact there have been increased cases across the country of abandonment and neglect...and any rescue or animal control officer will back that up. however, those increases coincided with exponential increases in the number of horses exported for slaughter. The number of US horses slaughtered has in fact remained nearly on par with 2006 numbers. We are not slaughtering fewer animals. The closure of slaughter plants is not responsible for the increasing numbers of unwanted animals.... the economy is. I find it hard to believe that getting one of these plants open again will be as easy as advertised. Slaughter plants of any kind are major NIMBYs as well as polluters. But once again the push is to stop them... not to find a long term solution.

Absolutely disgusting story.....
As well as some of the comments that followed, i read all of those i could stomach! I will be placing a call to Rep. Jim Moran's office tomorrow, he's a good man from my home state of Virginia, to urge him to keep the pressure on to keep this ban in place! This just flippant, almost joyful attitude of some of these people is sickening! Like it's no big deal what happens to these horses, just as long as we control the population, oh and it will be "humane" my ass these people are liars and morons! Who are to damn lazy to bother to look for alternatives and are totally ignorant and would look at the work of wonderful folks like Michael Blowen with Old Friends. It's infuriating!

Over the years, we’ve covered the efforts of former Playboy playmates Shane and Sia Barbi to put an end to the slaughter of horses in the United States. And, now that Congress has just lifted a ban that could result in a return to horse slaughter for meat after it had been outlawed for five years, the Barbi Twins are revamping their efforts.
