Breaking News: Federal Court Extends Equine Advocate’s Injunction to Third Wanna-Be Horse Slaughter Plant | Straight from the Horse's Heart
he New Mexico federal court, yesterday, extended the injunction barring USDA for inspecting horse slaughter at Rains Natural Meats of Gallatin, Missouri (and thus preventing any slaughter) until the court rules on the case, which will happen by the end of October. This increases the length of the injunction previously issued against Rains Natural Meats by almost four weeks. FRER’s case has now kept horse slaughter from starting in America for roughly three months, after keeping USDA from even considering the process for all of 2012 and the first half of this year.
