13. I don't know about Western States
I am in the Metro Atlanta area of Georgia. This is an election issue in my House District. I live and work in the Horse Country of Atlanta. Our Representative Tom Price voted against banning horse slaughter in the first vote. My Republican friends that thought Tom Price was GREAT, were suddenly stunned, and have now vowed to vote against him in November.

I am using the upcoming vote against him if he votes against the ban again. Both of my Republican Senators voted for the ban. The only time I have ever agreed with them.

This is a specialty issue, so if you aren't an animal activist or a horse owner you may not know.

Here are some links:

It is suspected that Ferdinand, who won the Kentucky Derby in 1986 was slaughtered for his meat.
