Due to a meeting held last fall by the National Conference
of State Legislators (NCSL) it was determined that the
NCSL Agriculture & Energy Commission, as a body, is in
support of horse-slaughter. You can read more about that
in the link below;
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/natl-conference-officially-supports-horse-slaughter Besides fighting against a national ban on horse-slaughter,
the pro-slaughter NCSL members have been organizing on a
state-by-state basis to re-open the horse slaughter plants in their respective states. So far, several states are pushing their state
legislatures to support horse-slaughter, including Kansas.
