The Animals’ Angels inspectors arrive at the “slaughter” horse feedlot in Stanwood, WA. On the surrounding pastures many beautiful, young horses are grazing. v89_img_d9797_102_thumbThe investigators immediately notice the excellent condition of the animals. The quality of the horses makes it hard to believe that these are “slaughter” horses. But - all of them have the green USDA slaughter tag attached to their hip, indicating that they will be transported to the Canadian plant soon.
