America's new horse slaughter house under fire over health safety concerns

Earlier this week we took you inside the first horse slaughterhouse set to open in the United States since the practice was banned in 2006.

Horse meat slaughterhouse set to open in New Mexico

Horse meat could eventually be sold to U.S. consumers and end up on a table near you. 

We are learning there is concern about that New Mexico facility, which some say has a questionable record when it comes to health safety and animal treatment.

Casey Wian has the story.

    There is a lot to learn from those who have lived this. All these slaughter plants are targeting little towns. They have done studies regarding the crime rates skyrocketing during active horse slaughter operation also. This website is a great one for background information: http://www.kaufmanzoning.net
