“Slaughterhouse” Sue Wallis and Company Crash and Burn!
The lies finally catch up to $ue Walli$
Mountain Grove, MO (EWA) – A much publicized proposal to locate a horse slaughter plant in Mountain Grove, Missouri was soundly rejected by the Mountain Grove town council tonight. The meeting was attended by a capacity crowd of about 300, with many people being turned away and others sitting in areas where they could not see or hear.
The plan, proposed by Sue Wallis of Unified Equine, was to use land just east of the town of Mountain Grove to build a facility to slaughter horses. Wallis had claimed that she chose the location because people in the area were “100% behind what we are doing and 100% behind how we are going to do it.”
The first cracks in her plan happened just days earlier when Dr. Temple Grandin, who Wallis said was to design the plant, publicly stated that she knew nothing about it.
According to Wallis, Chevideco NV, a Belgium corporation with slaughter houses in several countries, was to be her backer and partner. Chevideco was the company that owned the Dallas Crown slaughter house in Kaufman Texas. In 2007, Dallas Crown was closed under an old state law.
Cynthia MacPherson of MacPherson Law Center in Mountain Grove made a blistering and lethal case against the plant. Unfortunately for Wallis, the decades long record of their many sewer and environmental violations was brought out at the meeting along with many other disturbing facts. In just 19 months of operation the plant had 481 sewer violations. At one point the town of Kaufman had ordered Dallas Crown closed, but the plant had managed to delay the order through a protracted legal battle.
At the end of her presentation, MacPherson showed a power point presentation detailing the devastation of communities caused by Dallas Crown and two other horse slaughter facilities.
In a document supplied to the town, Wallis had addressed some of the issues she knew would surface. On crime, she said it was not likely that crime would increase as a result of the slaughter plant, but MacPherson showed that the closure of Dallas Crown resulted in a huge reduction of crime, discrediting Wallis’ prediction.
* Murders dropped from an average of .5/100,000 a year to 0.
* Rapes dropped from an average of 6/100,000 a year to 0.
* Robberies dropped 65%
* Assaults dropped 61.2%
* Thefts dropped 71.2%
* Auto thefts dropped 83.3%
Wallis held a place on the agenda which she delegated to Roger Lindsey of IDC (Intercity Development Council), the owner of the land in question. The IDC is consortium of which Mountain Grove owns a one-sixth share.
The community opposition was nearly unanimous and when Roger Lindsey rose to speak in favor of the plant he was booed and heckled. The Mayor gaveled the crowd down three times and threatened to clear the room if order was not restored.
The plant is the third announced publicly by Sue Wallis. In recent years she had announced that she was going to use the Cheyenne Stockyards as a mustering point for horses, and when that did not materialize she announced a plan to build a mobile slaughtering facility that would travel around Wyoming slaughtering horses. Reports indicate she is going to try other towns in Missouri.
In a quote to Equine Welfare Alliance, Cynthia MacPherson said “if they move their plans to another town, we will be right behind them!”

Thank you Cynthia MacPherson for saving your community from sewer and environmental threats and a public health hazard. Thank you for showing that, once again, Wallis’ assumptions were flat out wrong. On crime, Wallis said it was not likely that crime would increase as a result of the slaughter plant, but MacPherson showed that the closure of Dallas Crown TX resulted in a huge reduction of crime, discrediting Wallis’ prediction. Murders dropped from an average of .5/100,000 a year to 0., Rapes dropped from an average of 6/100,000 a year to 0., Robberies dropped 65%, Assaults dropped 61.2%, Thefts dropped 71.2%, Auto thefts dropped 83.3%. Horse slaughter brings national outrage, tourist boycotts,contamination and sanitary hazards, shame and litigation. Mt. Grove was just saved from this predatory industry’s harm and its imminent consequences which are no good for any community nor the very horses targeted. There are alternatives and efforts to curb over-breeding must be addressed. The saga of job creation, economic boost etc. are a fairy tale that has never been materialized in any existing horse slaughter plant nor community, ever. It is a clever ploy to brainwash unsuspecting folks and I congratulate Mt. Grove for standing up and making a stand against this hideous industry.

It would be wonderful if we could just export these folks to the exotic island of Alcatraz where they could grow vegetables and eat whatever meat they could catch sans any electronic devices so that the rest of the civilized world would not have to be reminded of their presence, but alas that is only a dream.
On the other hand, perhaps the House and Senate will realize that the American people are ahead of them on the learning curve, and we expect them to pass legislation to ban horse slaughter and the transportation of our horses for the purpose of slaughter. Furthermore, due to the type of black industry horse slaughter is, it should be illegal for horse slaughter to become legal in this country through either riders or ear marks. Any such facilities should be closed forever unless this legislation is fully debated on the floors of both houses and signed into law by the President—and not a part of any other legislation. It is outrageous that one to three members of Congress have forced the American people to have to deal with this evil.
It is not just the inhumanity of the slaughter process itself, though that would be bad enough. It is every person, every system that even touches the slaughter of horses or the horses destined for slaughter. It may not have always been this way, but there can be no hiding what it has been in recent history and what it is now
To the good people of Mountain Grove, may your community be blessed by the awareness that the good people of Mountain Grove are willing to stand up and do what is right. You have made it feel good once again to wake up and be an American.

In my opinion Sue Wallis is mentally deranged. I don’t believe any normal person would have pursued slaughter of horses the way Wallis has. I think she attempted to use Grandin using a comments taken out of context, and without the permission of Grandin. Wallis in my opinion is a loathesome person, beyond evil.
Roger Lindsey sounds equally as heinous as Wallis, and it appears to me that they are just two greedy, unethical persons who would stoop so low as to commit the uncivilized and barbaric killling of our beautiful horses for personal gain. Horses were the life’s blood of this country for many years. I would love it if those who threaten these horses and who have caused their near destruction would leave this country.

Press Release from the Equine Welfare Alliance
Americans Repulsed by Concept of Butchering and Feasting Upon Companion Animals
Chicago (EWA) – A poll conducted in January by Lake Research Partners for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) found that 80% of Americans are strongly opposed to horse slaughter. The highly respected research group based its survey on 1,008 voters giving the results a 3% margin of error. The poll found opposition was consistent across all sectors, including horse owners.
The findings are all the more remarkable given the huge media effort that was mounted by the horse slaughter lobby following the closing of U.S. based horse slaughter plants in 2007.
While the effort appeared to have worked on Congress, causing them to restore funding for horse slaughter inspections, it had the opposite effect on voter opinion. A similar poll performed a decade earlier indicates that opposition to horse slaughter has increased by almost 10%.

And, why in the heck would SW claim to have 100% of the MO folks on board? What a wild, ridiculous, and WISHFUL statement to make. Especially when you consider how hard the good folks of MO have been working to shut down puppy mills. But, when their own gov’t abandoned them on that front, it must have sent a message to SW that the gov’t can most DEFINITELY be swayed to do the wrong thing.

Just FYI, I wrote a letter to Cynthia MacPherson that I was pretty happy with so I’d like to share it here. It said just about what she seems to have said. Here it is:
Dear Ms. MacPherson:
I write to add my voice to the many others who strenuously urge Mountain Grove to reject the proposed plant that would bring horse-slaughter to Missouri. While some people do support this proposal, the only point in its favor is that it would enrich a Belgian horse-slaughter company and no doubt also financially benefit Wyoming state senator Sue Wallis. There is no good reason for the citizens of Mountain Grove to be compelled to live with the immense damage done by horse-slaughter plants merely to enrich the coffers of a Belgian company and a Wyoming citizen. There are, however, many reasons that this plant would bring only grief and a bad reputation to Mountain Grove. I want to mention briefly some of these reasons.
First, experience has shown that horse-slaughter plants severely hurt the economies of communities which allow them. This is most vividly explained in the testimony of Mayor Paula Bacon of Kaufman, Texas, who has discussed how the horse-slaughter plant in her community employed foreign workers and criminals, prevented other companies from choosing to open businesses in Kaufman, and added to the burdens of town government the problems of widespread pollution. Horse-slaughter plants pollute the streams and rivers nearby with huge amounts of blood and offal. The remains of dead horses creep into the fields and kill agriculture. The stench drives residents away. Children must breathe polluted air. So the financial devastation brought by horse-slaughter plants should make the citizens of Mountain Grove reject this plan whole-heartedly.
In addition to the financial problems and the huge environmental damage done by horse-slaughter plants, we must also consider the way citizens are affected. It is not pleasant to live in a town where the air is putrid, the water is fouled, and the fields are no longer productive. Horse-slaughter plants are a quick way to kill a town.
They not only kill towns, they also attack the human spirit. There is nothing humane about horse-slaughter. It is brutal, vicious, ugly, nasty. It is a horrible job for those forced to do it, and almost as bad for those forced to live nearby. Most importantly, living with routine brutality of this magnitude is a daily torment to the human soul and to human morality.
Finally, of course, horse slaughter plants inflict horror and unending cruelty on horses, who have been companions and helpers to people for eons. It is wrong to subject horses to this brutality. It is wrong to subject people to the brutality of killing horses. And it is wrong to subject citizens of a lovely town to the unending emotional, environmental, and financial toll that such an operation inevitably brings.
For all these reasons, I urge you to reject the proposed plant and its advocates.
Sincerely,
Ellen Goodman

I would say ‘Unbelieveable’ but, it’s not. The people of Missouri have spoken. If there is another meeting which will star Sue Wallis, husband and others proponents for horse slaughter, the people of Missouri will once again, be ready. I have no doubt that this proposal for a plant in Missouri will fail. Why? Because, it’s unnatural, cruel and barbaric to slaughter, defile and eat horses. No matter how many arguments that can be conjured up for this, it’s a taboo, morally wrong. Horses are not cows, sheep, pigs nor chickens. Whether vegetarian or not, these are the domestic animals which have been traditionally used to feed man. It is NOT a sin to not be vegetarian but surely, there is some sense inside people, that WILL cause them not to gobble up a big plate of horse that is put down on a plate in front of them. Horse and fries? Horse and salad, horse sandwich? Be honest. If you wouldn’t eat it, how can you expect anyone else to? I see above that Ellen Godman is enquiring about an upcoming engagement planned by Ms Wallis and group, I believe it will take place in Oklahoma City around April 2nd, where the gang will be wined and dined at, amongst other places, the Cowboy Hall of Fame and Heritage Center. They will not be any more welcome in Oklahoma than they were in Missouri. And, yes, Ellen Goodman, we can use your support and the support of anyone else who believes that the reopening of slaughter plants in any state will be a terrible tradgedy and, in the eyes of the international community and our own, will put us back into the Dark Ages. John Wayne’s saddle and other accoutrements are showcased in the Hall of Fame. I wonder what he must be thinking about all this….
