there are entire organizations set up to get those slaughterhouses closed.

Here in Texas, lawyers proved that the 2 we have have been operating illegally for decades and so of course the reps in the areas where the slaughterhouses are introduced legislation to LEGALIZE the business.

We fought hard and WON, our congress did not pass that bill and the slaughterhouses were told to shut down, and immediately a court granted them an injunction to wait until the issue is decided at a federal level.

And the one in Illinois that recently reopened did so after being burned down to the ground in an arson, so someone clearly waged their own campaign against that one.

I'll be insulted for saying this, but as long as people insist on eating meat this kind of stuff will happen. Cattle rule all in this country and no one should think their slaughter is any more humane than that of the horses.
