Today's News 

 

Kudos to Willis Lamm and Carrol Abel for a most excellent radio program. John Holland was on first and as always, managed to discuss key facts in the allotted time. Craig Downer was also a guest on the program.

 

I don't see a link to the program on the website but Willis told me we should have a link within the next week or so.

 

Willis sent the below update yesterday. Following the update is a link to an AP article that Carrol provided under separate cover.

 

 

NV Board of Agriculture proposes a horse slaughter facility for Nevada.

Advocate Carrol Abel, while researching documents from the Nevada Department of Agriculture, uncovered that during discussion among the members of the Nevada Board of Agriculture on the subject of the Virginia Range horses, that they should develop a market, address public perceptions and get a horse slaughter plant started in Nevada.

Among the concepts discussed was that while the (elected) Legislature got hammered into the ground on anti-horse issues, the (appointed) Board of Agriculture
"would not get hammered the same way it would be a subject we could put out."

 

Here is an example of how responsible these people are to the will of the citizens and of the appropriate processes that have been put in place.
 

"Think looking at putting facilities on Indian reservations which takes legislature and everybody out of the equation."

 

Yes, folks. This stuff is right there in the Board's official minutes.
