It is OUTRAGEOUS that Special Interests will receive Subsidies on Horse Slaughter Plant and income tax breaks. I do NOT want a further financial burden added to our currently compromised Food Budget of the USDA.. <br /><br />The devastation of towns and the burden on their local economy and governments where Horse Slaughter Plants are located will significantly strain their economy (except for the small amount of businesses that employees working in the plant frequent). Surrounding ecosystems will be significantly compromised due to the resulting plant waste. Because of this real estate values will go down~no one wants that in their back yard. Also, horse slaughter in United States does not mean less abandoned horses. Stopping breeding horses *does*, but the location of where horses are slaughtered has no bearing whatsoever on less abandoned horses~it is just common sense.
