South Dakota Legislature Considers Funding for Horse Slaughter Plant to be Built
According to several web sites, a bill has been introduced in the South Dakota legislature that would make a state-funded loan of up to $1 million available to anyone wishing to construct and open a horse slaughtering facility in the state. Introduced by multiple members of the South Dakota State Senate and House Agriculture Committees, S.B. 170 is scheduled for a hearing in the Senate Agriculture Committee at 10 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
Not much information is available as to whether this is a meat-processing project or not.
You can check with the South Dakota state government's web site, here, which has a page on the bill.
Stay tuned.

THIS is going to be interesting to watch....
I will keep checking back for updates here.
I agree with mrs mom.
The information at the website like for the bill is about as vague as you can get. No wonder so many bills get passed. The Senate doesn't even know what they're voting for!!
Oh my g! that is horrible! those EVIL people a now will have nightmeres!!! groan... please stop that law!!!!!
THE BLOODHORSE WEBSITE IS REPORTING THAT THE HORSE SLAUGHTER BILL IN SOUTH DAKOTA HAS BEEN "KILLED". LET'S HOPE THAT'S THE END OF SUCH TALK IN THE UNITED STATES.
I really hope the Blood Horse is correct. How could South Dakota even think about opening a plant. Call it "processing" or whatever... it's still a horrible thing to do to an animal!
