IEC Update: Pro-Horse Groups Aim to End Horse Slaughter « Straight from the Horse's Heart

LAS VEGAS –  Equine advocates meeting in Las Vegas say a dinner plate is no place for a horse to end up.
Several pro-horse organizations are in the valley for their international conference to strategize their opposition to the planned re-opening of American slaughterhouses for horses.

Opponents say it’s a cold-blooded business decision.
