A LAWSUIT DESIGNED TO STOP A HORSE SLAUGHTERHOUSE FROM OPENING GETS THE SUPPORT OF THE NEW MEXICO ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. SPOKESMAN PHIL SISNEROS SAYS THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE NEEDS TO DO A FULL AND ADEQUATE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF THE PROPOSED PLANT. HE SAYS IT'S GOOD THAT THE A-G IS JOINING THE LAWSUIT AT THE SAME TIME AS A FOUNDATION SET UP BY FORMER GOVERNOR RICHARDSON AND ACTOR ROBERT REDFORD. HE SAYS THE MORE PROMINENT PEOPLE THAT COME FORWARD AGAINST THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE, THE BETTER.
VALLEY MEAT COMPANY OF ROSWELL HOPES TO BEGIN OPERATIONS EARLY NEXT MONTH, HAVING ALREADY RECEIVING FEDERAL APPROVAL FOR THE PROJECT.
