just before Thanksgiving?
Here is a horse biased article:

http://our-compass.org/2011/11/29/ob...ter-in-the-us/

Other writings on the subject will try to sell the notion that this is better for the horses that get shipped to foreign countries to be slaughtered....the selling point is they are less humane than we are.

I guess the horse protectionist groups and lobbyists were beat out by those who stand to gain from this bill being passed. And yes, there is a commitment of significant federal funds to help get these slaughter house up and running.

The bill was signed by Obama using the "autopen" while he was in Asia.

He certainly has his priorities right doesn't he?

Another one of those quietly handled tasks that the public just does not need to know about.
