The last operating horse slaughterhouse was located in Dekalb, Illinois and "mysteriously" burned down in 2007. It remained closed when the state passed legislation to outlaw the slaughtering of horses for human consumption. Some pro-slaughter lobbyists are still trying to revive the business, and the current administration is considering lifting restrictions that prevent the sale of American horses to dealers who export to Canada and Mexico for slaughter. Hopefully, that won't happen, and the lack of federal funding for public inspections will remain in effect.
