| Study of Horse Slaughter Plant Gets ND House Nod |
| 2/18/2009 |
| North Dakota lawmakers have agreed to set aside $50,000 for a possible study of a horse slaughter plant. New laws and public sentiment against horse processing have resulted in the recent closure of U.S. plants. Selfridge Rep. Rod Froelich says that makes it difficult for ranchers to dispose of horses that are old or injured. He says North Dakota should try to solve the problem. Representatives voted 89-5 on Wednesday to set aside money for a study. The state`s Agricultural Products Utilization Commission would have to approve the project. The bill says state money for the study would have to be matched by private industry. The legislation now goes to the North Dakota Senate. The bill is HB1496. |
