USDA MAKES END RUN AROUND CONGRESSIONAL HORSE SLAUGHTER BAN

[shminifancier]

WASHINGTON (January 5, 2006)

The USDA recently informed members of Congress that it is seriously considering creating a new horse inspection scheme to circumvent the new federal law, which prohibits USDA from paying employees to inspect horses destined for slaughter for human food. This announcement comes as a result of a petition for emergency rulemaking filed by three European-owned slaughterhouses – two in Texas, one in Illinois – that would allow the companies to continue butchering tens of thousands of horses for foreign menus each year.

OH hang on we went down this road before and I remember saying then fine they can hire their inspectors...but I was poo poo'd.....funny my butcher pays 80 bucks to have the usda inspection done on meat.....so I told her to set it up so mine was cut when they had other usda needs rather than have him out for just my lambs...oh thats right I was WRONG
