The nation's last horse-slaughtering plant can reopen while it challenges a
state law that forced it to close twice in the last two months, an Illinois
federal appeals court ruled.
Slaughtering operations at the Cavel International Inc. plant in DeKalb,
Ill. had not resumed July 19, but the plant "will be up and running soon,"
said the company's general manager, James Tucker. He said he had to
rehire at least some of the 55 workers laid off during the last closure.
