Guest guest Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Cavel International, a Belgium Co., is unwilling to give up, even though Americans have voted to ban horse slaughter on our own soil. What Cavel does not mention in their suit (see below) is they pay no American taxes. But, their slaughter house freely draws on and blights a host of American tax payor funded resources, such as water, sewer, and waste management systems and city vermin elimination, plus the destruction of property values in the neighborhoods that surround this house of horror. Of course, this does not count the services that do not get funded as a result of Carvel's financial drain on the community, such as schools, roads, parks, health care, food banks, etc. Would this be tolerated in their own country? Let's see who wins. The horses and America, or a foreign owned mega-business.

Cavel International asked for a stay in order to allow it to continue operating pending the outcome of the lawsuit. The new law prohibits the import, export, possession and slaughter of horses intended for human consumption. Randy (THLN President) Randall E.
