Dr. Bonnie Beaver, MS, Dipl. ACVB, stood up in July against a bill that would ban horse slaughter for human consumption. The past-president of the AVMA says, "The legislation doesn't address the financial support required to care for the horses given up by their owners. The legislation also does not address the disposal of more than 90,000 horse carcasses if horse slaughter is banned."
