Renowned livestock expert Temple Grandin says she supports the development of humane horse slaughtering facilities in the United States.

But during an interview last week in Springfield, Grandin was surprised to learn she had been listed as a designer for a Unified Equine, LLC, horse slaughtering facility near Mountain Grove.

“I had nothing to do with landing that site,” said Grandin, who was in Springfield to speak at a conference on livestock grazing. “I didn’t even know the name of that site until just now.”

This article really disturbs me.  Already the lying has begun.  We all know there is NO HUMANE WAY TOO SLAUGHTER HORSES.  Our own USDA inspector have been quoted as saying it, inspectors FROM HORSE SLAUGHTER FACILITIES.  People who live in the places where they want to build plants need to check this out:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xjQ59Zr1A70  or check it out near the top of my blog in the left column  FDEF
