This one is rather creative -
BUT, SAID TUCKER:
''Everything Cavel International does is 100 percent within the bounds of
the laws of the United States. These laws have been debated in Congress for
more than 100 years, and obviously a majority of the American people agree
with them.
I wasn't aware horse slaughter laws had been debated in US
Congress for more than 100 years, a bit of a stretch on Tucker's part,
and obviously this man hasn't seen the American polls overwhelmingly
against horse slaughter starting in 1995 with the TV show Hard Copy.
How could "a majority of American people agree
with" something they don't know exists?
Tucker is in major denial.

The following is the information you requested detailing the audience
response to the story we did on the horse slaughter industry.
The audience response was overwhelming. Between calls made in response to
the poll we ran and general calls made to our New York and Los Angeles
offices, it was clear that our viewing audience was outraged by this story.
The response came from all over the United States. As the following numbers
indicate, their message was clear. Stop slaughtering our horses for human
consumption in other countries.
The poll which followed the story asked the question "Should horse
slaughter be banned?"
Total calls logged: 50,154
