Revival of Horse Slaughter to Cost Taxpayers « Straight from the Horse's Heart

Revival of Horse Slaughter to Cost Taxpayers « Straight from the Horse's Heart

Last week while you weren’t looking Congress and the president did something the vast majority of Americans oppose. The president signed an omnibus-spending bill approved by Congress that makes it legal to slaughter horses in the United States once again. Polls show more than 70 percent of Americans oppose horse slaughter and few if any eat horse meat. Given the fact we are divided politically by a gap the size of the Grand Canyon, recognize that a 70 percent majority is an unheard of amount of backing.
