A small appropriations bill passed by Congress this month will allow slaughter houses to resume killing horses for export to countries where people eat horse meat — a move that has strong support among most members of the horse industry, said Val Vail-Shirey, executive director of Michigan Equine Partnership in Lansing.

The remains of that horse, named Credit Card, were later found in southeast Oklahoma on property near Jaci Rae Jackson’s mother’s home, according to an affidavit for Jackson’s arrest warrant.
