The House Appropriations Committee defeated an effort to extend the ban of horse slaughter on American soil.
The amendment to the agriculture appropriations bill was offered by Rep. Sam Farr, a Democrat from California. The vote resulted in a tie, but the measure was not adopted. It would have prevented inspection funding of horse slaughter facilities.
