Roswell NM: Recommendation to deny sewage permit at horse slaughter plant

If troublesome companies commit violations in any area, it can help to shut them down if their antagonists research, act and follow up. Whether they violate employment laws, tax laws, solid waste laws or other rules and regulations, it could add obstacles to their continued existence. 

See Cheryl Hanna's Examiner articles on the important, dreadful topic of a horse slaughter plant in New Mexico:

Recommendation to deny sewage permit at New Mexico horse slaughter plant - National Pet Rescue | Examiner.com

Excerpt: "Horse meat is not sold in the United States. Valley Meat Co. will be shipping horse meat to other countries for human consumption. The last horse slaughter plant in the United States closed in 2007. In 2011, federal funding for horse slaughter house inspectors was reinstated; since then the controversy over horse slaughter in the US has continued to escalate with humane organizations fighting to keep the plants closed."

Subject: What will happen when Harper takes control of the Arctic?

Today, Canada is taking over as Chair of the Arctic Council. This is terrible news for wildlife and communities of the Arctic--we need to take action right away. Take action As you and I have seen, Prime Minister Harper will do anything it takes to accelerate oil development: muzzle scientists, gut environmental regulations and deny Indigenous rights. Now, as Chair of the Arctic Council, the Harper government wants to give the oil industry a louder voice in the future of the Arctic. The Harper government claims it's doing this in the name of the people of the North. But things aren't that simple. Just this week, Indigenous groups from every Arctic state signed a statement calling for a ban on offshore drilling in the Arctic. It appears that once again the Harper government is trying to accelerate oil development at any cost. Let's stop oil spills before they start - tell Prime Minister Stephen Harper that Arctic oil drilling must not happen Earlier this year with your help, over 750,000 people sent letters to US President Barack Obama, asking him to ban Shell from drilling in the Arctic forever. Shell cancelled their plans for 2013 and backed away. Now, the world is turning its attention to Canada, as new Chair of the Arctic Council. The Arctic Council is an international forum set up to ensure the health and sustainability of the Arctic region. That means Prime Minister Stephen Harper has the power to protect wildlife and Arctic communities by preventing Arctic oil spills from happening before they start. Tell Prime Minister Harper to put people and the environment ahead of oil companies. Take action today and join the campaign to protect the Arctic. Take action In solidarity, Christy Ferguson Arctic Project Leader Greenpeace Canada
