New Tourist Attraction: Horse Meat in Wyoming

Rep. “Slaughterhouse” Sue Wallis – a Career Dedicated to Killing and Eating Horses

“It’s been several months since we have heard anything out of the Wyoming Representative whose entire life has been centered around killing and eating horses, Sue Wallis.  An embarrassment to her state, she continues to flail away at the premise that killing horses for human consumption is a good and wonderful thing.  Between setting up a bogus non-profit organization that violates federal and state laws to accusing dozens and dozens of well known American celebrities of taking bribes on the issue,the out of control elected official continues to generate lies and propeganda on the issue of excess horses which her partner in crime, Dave Douquette produces.

Yesterday, information was uncovered on her plans to build a slaughter house that would kill healthy horses and supply their tainted meat to pets and today she still contends that horse meat is safe for human consumption which is in direct conflict with known science and international government assertions.  In the normal world they would put someone like this away; in the fantasy world of “Slaughterhouse” Sue Wallis she continues to spout bloody lies and attempts to covertly subvert the opinions of decent Amercicans with her bogus organization.

What can you do to stop the madness?   First read “Who’s on First?” written by Equine Welfare Alliance Executive Vicki Tobin and then write the Governor Dave Freudenthal of Wyoming and tell him that you have had enough of this embarrassment from Recluse; it is not only a state issue but one of National Pride, this individual puts the good and caring  spirit of all Americans at risk.  The U.S. public has made it abundantly clear that they do not support the predatory business of horse slaughter and the bulk of Americans do not believe in Eating Their Friends.  But in Sue Wallis’ case, that’s another story…watch out Dave Duquette, you may be next on the menu.” – R.T.

And it is coming even before the new law goes into effect July 1.

The plan by members of the United Organization of the Horse is to set up something like a triage operation at the old railroad stockyards in Cheyenne for abandoned or unwanted horses. The horses would be screened and provided rehabilitation, training or slaughter, depending on their condition. The plan is ultimately to market horse meat in the state.

Rep. Sue Wallis, R-Gillette, was the prime sponsor of House Bill 122, which was signed into law by Gov. Dave Freudenthal.

“The animal rights people have put this on their agenda,” Wallis said last week in a telephone interview.

She said members of the United Organization of the Horse met April 2 and developed a plan for a “unified equine system.”

If people have horses they cannot sell or keep, they can donate the horses to the nonprofit United Organization of the Horse and get receipts for tax deductions for the value of the horses, Wallis explained.

Brand inspectors and law enforcement officers who find starving horses can turn them over to the organization if they can provide clear titles, she added.

If the horses are in reasonably good condition, they would go into a rejuvenation program with special food and care. If they have any potential and are in good shape, they can go into a rescue and training program. Horses unsuitable for slaughter, such as horses with foals, will be held.

Horses that are old and past a productive life or are dangerous and untrainable will be slaughtered, but in a humane way, Wallis said.

Her group, she said, is working with Dr. Temple Grandin at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, an animal behaviorist and scientist who is autistic and has special empathy for animals.

Grandin, Wallis said, will design a humane system for the slaughter of the unwanted horses.
