A CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC

A few years ago, people cheered when the United States closed its processing plants, because they believed horses would be spared a cruel death. Instead, it had the opposite effect. Blame it on the drought, the economy tanking, or whatever you want, but when a bale of hay reached $7.00, a lot of people could no longer afford it. As a result, the number of horses being neglected rose significantly. If a horse has to be slaughtered, wouldn't you rather it be done within our borders where there are laws to protect them? I would. Therefore, I applaud the reopening of the slaughter houses.
