***Update on Cavel Horse Slaughter Plant: A sustaining member informed us that the Federal Appeals Court judge allowed Cavel to reopen while its appeal is pending. Apparently the Belgium company that owns the plant is making use of every legal resort possible. A Federal ban on horse slaughter and the bill still waiting to be voted on in Washington are much needed.
