Beltex FOIA

Results from Freedom of Information Request show severe abuse previously undisclosed: New data provides over nine hundred reasons for the urgent passage of bill banning the slaughter of American horses.
Animals' Angels received over 900 pages of documents and photographs from  the United States Department of Agriculture taken during part of 2005 at the Beltex horse slaughter plant in Texas. The documents, which were received 36 months after making a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, reveal an appalling number of incidences and an equally appalling degree of suffering sustained by horses.
