*We consider "Slaughter Facilities" to
be facilities that slaughter LIVE horses & ponies and render them into
meat and other byproducts. Facilities that render
horses & ponies that
were dead when received are classed by us as "Non-Slaughter Rendering
Facilities".
We only list "Slaughter Facilities" on this page.
