Governor Martinez: Please Take Action - Ban Horse Slaughter in New Mexico by Executive Order
Horse slaughter plants have a history of polluting local water supplies, lowering property values and are a drain on local economies. 80% of all Americans oppose this inhumane, barbaric industry and that has only negative impacts on our state.
Why is this important?
A horse slaughter plant is poised to open in New Mexico, despite the fact that 80% of all Americans strongly oppose the slaughter of horses. Horse slaughter plants have a history of polluting local water supplies, lowering property values and are a drain on local economies. In addition horses, not raised for food are given a wide variety of drugs and veterinary treatments that make their meat unfit for human consumption. Horses slaughter is the most barbaric form of slaughter as horses are flight animals. The Horse Slaughter industry poses threats to the health, environmental and economic welfare of New Mexico and thereby warrants the issue of an Executive Order that will Ban Horse Slaughter in the state of New Mexico.
