The attorney for a proposed horse
slaughterhouse in southeastern New
Mexico says a federal inspection Tuesday went well
and the plant hopes to be in business soon.
Attorney Blair Dunn says
agriculture officials found no issues at Valley Meat Co. and told the owners
they are recommending a grant of inspection be issued immediately. Dunn says he
expects final approval for the plant to come in a matter of days.
Valley Meat
Co. has become ground zero for an emotional, national debate over a return to
domestic horse slaughter.
The company hopes the inspection ends a yearlong
political drama that has left it idle and made owner Rick De Los Santos and his
wife, Sarah, targets of vandalism and death threats.
