Just received word the President signed the Appropriations Omnibus - TopicsExpress



          

Just received word the President signed the Appropriations Omnibus bill which included continued defunding of USDA inspections for horsemeat. The defund will continue into 2015 and no horse slaughter plant can operate in the U.S. while this is in effect. Great news, but there is still a lot of work to be done! We need to expand the safety net for horses to keep them out of the slaughter pipeline permanently. We are also closely watching to see what impact the ban on horsemeat from Mexico by the EU will have in the coming weeks.
