A horse slaughter facility will reduce property values, air and water quality, increase crime rates, increase worker safety issues, and expose US and foreign markets to drug contaminated meats.

Slaughter of Equines cannot be accomplished pursuant to the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act.

New Mexico is home to twenty three Pueblos and Tribes; many of whom hold the horse to be sacred and valued components of their traditional culture are opposed to horse slaughter.
