Horse slaughter records obtained from the Clerks Office in Tarrant County, Texas
(only about 10% of the horse slaughter records were gone through and Brown's name showed up many times)
"Powerful proponents of horse slaughter have been pushing some state legislatures to pass laws promoting taxpayer-subsidized horse slaughter. Will J. Paul Brown carry the water for the special interests of the foreign horse slaughter market to try and promote this exploitative practice in Colorado?" ~ Paula Bacon
It has been told by some that J Paul Brown really is a "wolf in sheep's clothing".
