Horse-welfare activists were suspicious when Valley Meat Company, a slaughterhouse in New Mexico, applied to start slaughtering companion, work and competition horses for human consumption.

New Mexico officials found the company was in violation of so many solid waste laws that they fined the company $86,400 -- one of the highest penalties ever handed out by the Solid Waste Bureau
