A federal court decision that upheld a Texas ban on horsemeat for human dining has thrown the horse-slaughter industry into flux this week, with two airlines saying they won’t transport the meat even as the state's two slaughter plants say operations are “business as usual.”
American Airlines and Delta Air Lines said today that Thursday, jan. 25 they have suspended transport of horsemeat from Texas airports to the overseas markets -- mainly France, Belgium and Japan -- where it is consumed.
