The Humane Society of the U.S. sued the government to block inspections that would allow horse slaughtering to resume, saying officials haven’t examined the environmental effects of making horse meat again available for human consumption.
The U.S. Agriculture Department shouldn’t check horse-slaughter facilities that have received grants of inspection, test residue for any slaughter facility, or inspect any facility without conducting a detailed environmental review, attorneys for the Humane Society and other groups said today in a complaint in federal court in San Francisco.
