People are saying, 'What more do we need to do?' This amendment was passed by Congress and signed by the president, and it's still not done. |
There is a growing frustration among the public and members of Congress with this blatant disregard for a law overwhelmingly passed by the Congress and signed into law by the President. The U.S. Congress clearly responded to the American public's demand for an end to slaughter and the USDA is choosing to violate this act to shelter three foreign-owned slaughterhouses. |
We are sitting around anxiously awaiting a decision from the judge. We are obviously disappointed by the USDA's action. The language was clear. But the amendment also was not the ultimate goal. It would have stopped horse slaughter only a short time. |
