GAO To Investigate Horse Welfare After Slaughter Plants Closed

Two provisions in a new piece of government legislation will directly affect horse welfare and horse slaughter in the United States. On Oct. 8, the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives approved the final version of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (H.R. 2997).

This bill addresses concerns about horse welfare after the last of three U.S. horse slaughter facilities closed in 2007.
