Comments: Editor's Note: That the slaughter of horses and the consumption of their flesh generates tremendous emotional reactions from lots of people. The number of docket entries made by the clerk in this case is indicative of this fact. News reports about this case stated that the Plaintiffs immediately filed appeals with the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver.
