[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1640721, member: 5381"] Texas was one of the last places to have horse slaughter plants. They had two. They worked in less populated areas and didn't advertise their business to keep the nuts at bay. The horse lovers finally after years of trying, got them shut down by getting the USDA to not fund inspectors for the plants. This lasted for a couple years until the horse overs found out that ol Trigger instead of having a quick humane death was now having to take a 12 to 24 hour ride on crowded truck to Mexico only to get hacked to death by man with a machete. So they reversed the ruling and now allow horse slaughter plants in Texas once again. Problem is, the two plants in Texas that were shut down had no interest in re-opening. The juice is no longer worth the squeeze as someone on this board is prone to say. So the horses sold at many of the sale barns around the state are still trucked to Mexico. One of those laws of unintended consequences. [/QUOTE]
