Surpreme Court declines appeal by slaughter plant owner

June 16, 2008 Send To A Friend  | Print View

The Associated Press (AP) has reported that the U.S. Supreme Court has declined an appeal from Cavel International, the owners of the Cavela horse slaughtering plant, who challenged an Illinois law prohibiting the killing of horses for human consumption.
 
The Cavel plant in DeKalb, Ill., was closed last year after a federal appeals court upheld the ban. The company urged the justices to step in to allow the facility to reopen. The AP said the court did not comment on its order Monday.

 

The DeKalb plant was the last horse slaughterhouse in the United States. Two other U.S. plants, both in Texas, also closed in 2007.
