This article discusses Obama's recent decision to restore the horse slaughter industry in the United
States. The article goes on to discuss the fact that PETA supports this decision, but the ASPCA plans to
fight the new law. Several states also currently have a ban on horse slaughter for human consumption. The
law put into place in 2006 did not actually ban horse slaughter, but it pulled the plug on inspections of the
plants, which caused the industry to founder.

This article discusses the pros and cons of horse slaughter being legalized in the United States. The
article talks a great deal about the inhumane practices in slaughter houses. It uses opinionated tactics to
make the reader sympathize with the horses that are killed inhumanely in slaughter houses. The article also
talks about the horse slaughter industry as being a large source of income for the United States, but
counteracts it by saying that the horse industry itself brings in more money than slaughtering.

This article discusses the different animal organizations that agree that horse slaughter is a necessary
option for United States. The AVMA, AQHA, AAEP, and several other animal (especially horse)
organizations all agree that with proper monitoring of the slaughter process, horse slaughter is a humane and
necessary practice to end suffering of horses that can no longer be cared for or that are old, sick or injured.
These organizations believe that although changes need to be made to the laws to more strictly enforce
them, horse slaughter is not such a negative thing.
