"People lie. And for so many years they’ve been lying about this horse slaughter plant. They’ve been saying, 'Oh, all the horses over there are old and sick and crippled.' Well that’s not right. They’re just saying that so that nobody will question what they do."
Mary Nash, from "Blood Country...a Texas Shame."
