A Santa
Fe judge has extended a temporary order that prevents a Roswell horse
slaughterhouse from opening.
State District Judge Matthew Wilson made his
decision to extend the temporary restraining order by 10 days after hearing
arguments Friday. He has scheduled another hearing in the case for Jan. 13.
New
Mexico Attorney General Gary King is trying to block Valley Meat Co.'s planned
opening this month with a lawsuit alleging the company would violate the
state's food safety, water quality and unfair business practices laws.
Valley
Meat attorney Blair Dunn has argued that the state lacks jurisdiction and King
is using the case to bolster his bid for governor.
