STATEMENT FROM NYCLASS - Outraged Over USDA Decision to Bring Back Horse Slaughter

Posted on News by Nyclass Admin · July 02, 2013 10:36 AM

(NEW YORK, NY) – On Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved an application for Valley Meat Company LLC in Roswell, N.M. to repurpose its cattle facility in order to slaughter horses for human consumption. In 2007, the few remaining horse-slaughtering plants in America closed after Congress voted to eliminate funding for horsemeat inspections. This recent move by the USDA comes on the heels of a major scandal in the European Union where equine DNA and painkillers were discovered in beef samples throughout the continent. The fraudulent labeling sparked widespread outrage, especially in North America, whose exports account for 20 percent of all horsemeat sold in Europe.
