There was an update about a week ago on the Horse Anti-Slaughter Bill in Illinois and I am sorry to be late in posting this. I read it and forgot to post it to the blog.

Governor Rod Blagojevich signed the Anti-Slaughter Bill in Illinois the home of the last operating horse slaughter plant in the US on May 24th. So now we shall see what is going to be done about or if there even is an “unwanted horse” problem.

You can read a brief article from The Horse about the signing - www.thehorse.com/viewarticle.aspx?ID=9683

Oh this also does not effect the Federal Bill, that is still being discussed and will be used to prevent raising horses and transporting them to Canada and Mexico for slaughtering purposes.
