The SLAUGHTER folks are NOT horse lovers. They are Commercially processing abuse. Dekalb Illinois plant showcased abuse daily the violent actions of the plant were Under oversight by the Same USDA we habe today and were in constant violation. Horses were dismembered alive. For folks who never lived the Industry you have no idea the horrible conditions involved in holding transport, in the US transport is vile, full of violations and abuses and stillonghaul the abuses up to entering and inside the plants are horrible. The Texas plants closed first because the people got tired of the bull and they were finally forced out, now in Dekalb, we banned together to save our States Horse Industry which closure did. For those who intertwined the economic recession which is over and horse plant closures not even realistic. The killer buyers have racked up abuses and anyone who claims they love a horse and still believe in slaughter is Not a Horse person.
