US bans horse slaughter for meatFrom correspondents in Washington September 08, 2006 07:18am Article from: Agence France-PresseFont size: + - Send this article: Print Email THE US House of Representatives has overnight voted to ban the slaughter of horses for human consumption, which could bring an end to a $US40-billion industry exporting horse meat to Europe and Japan. By a vote of 263-146, the House voted to amend the Horse Protection Act, yielding to animal rights activists and average American horse enthusiasts for whom the animals are best enjoyed at the racetrack or on the riding trail. The law would "prohibit the shipping, transporting, moving, delivering, receiving, possessing, purchasing, selling, or donation of horses and other equines to be slaughtered for human consumption and for other purposes." The legislation was co-sponsored by more than 200 members in the 435-member House.
