Title: ●Commercial Transportation of Equines to Slaughter | |
Abstract: We are amending the regulations regarding the commercial transportation of equines to slaughter to add a definition of equine for slaughter and make other changes that will extend the protections afforded by the regulations to equines bound for slaughter but delivered first to an assembly point, feedlot, or stockyard. We are taking this action to ensure the humane treatment of such equines. This action will help ensure the unique and special needs of equines in commercial transportation to slaughter are met. | |
