Mary Fallin signed a measure to lift the state ban on horse slaughtering. However, federal funding for inspections has not been forthcoming, essentially putting such facilities on hold.
The federal agency’s treatment of wild horses has been scandalously poor. But you wouldn’t know it from reading the newspaper.
America needs a few aggressive journalists to uncover the ways in which the Interior Department is captive to the priorities of the industries it is supposed to regulate.
