"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." "The 40 acre farm next to the Dallas Crown horse slaughter plant in Kaufman, Texas has been in my family for 150 years." |
