Petitions to Arkansas & North Dakota

These are the two state legislatures calling for the building of horse slaughter plants in their states. Of course, this state-by-state organizing is the work of the National Committee of State Legislatures (NCSL) Agricultural Sub-Committe. Here is a list of its members. I am hoping not all are pro-slaughter;

NCSL Agriculture and Energy Committee

Chair: Senator Stephen R. Morris, Kansas
Vice Chair: Senator Brian Bingman, Oklahoma
