Potential Horse Slaughtering Plant in the Ozarks

A large crowd heard testimony for and against a Wyoming company’s proposal to build a horse slaughtering and processing plant in southwest Ozarks. Unified Equine, LLC, is conducting a feasibility study on building the plant between Mountain Grove and Cabool, in the Twin Cities industrial park. The company has not yet sought a Missouri Department of Natural Resources permit for the plant that would produce meat for human consumption. While many residents do not seem to be for this measure it is estimated that the plant would bring between 40 to 55 jobs and economic investment of between $6 million to $7 million in infrastructure and building.
