Another Important Response to the Slaughter of Horses In January, 2007, American Airlines stopped overseas shipments of horse meat from Texas. A recent opinion issued Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has expanded the ban on the sale or possession of horse meat for human consumption to include the shipment of horse meat destined for overseas markets.

Slaughterhouses for horses have been closed in the US. Now thousands of horses are shipped from the US to Mexico and Canada. For those who crave the delicacy of horse meat will no longer be able to use the ports and international airports in Texas to satisfy their appetite.

Another step in the right direction for protection of horses in the United States.
