Since the DeKalb plant closed its doors, there’s been a rise in the number of complaints regarding horse abuse and neglect reported to the Illinois Department of Agriculture. There were 461 complaints in 2006. In 2007, the year the plant closed, that number jumped to 681. In 2008, 730 complaints were reported.

Close vote indicates that “horse meat for export issue” may still be alive in Illinois.
