Empacadora De Carnes De Fresnillo, S.A. De C v. v. Curry
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided January 19, 2007No. 05-11499PublishedCited by 33 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
BENAVIDES, Circuit Judge:
The lone cowboy riding his horse on a Texas trail is a cinematic icon. Not once in memory did the cowboy eat his horse, 1 but film is an imperfect mirror for reality.
Texas is home to two of the three slaughterhouses in the United States that process horsemeat for human consumption, with the third operating in Illinois. After several decades of operations, the Texas Attorney General informed them that Texas is one of a handful of states that prohibits them activities. Whether he informed them correctly is the subject of this case.
