Having one cow in a 12 month period, which is what it's been since they (Canada) had their last one, does not change the minimal risk standards that Canada falls under. So it should not disrupt trade in any way. |

I view ... the push to outlaw horse slaughter in this country as false compassion because all those animals are going to die sometime. ... The way that animals are slaughtered in harvest facilities, it is quick and as painless as possible. |
If horse slaughter is eliminated there will be no market for them so it ends up being a real quandary as to what to do with them. |
What was left unsaid is what the industry needs in order to accomplish implementation. |
