The US Congress' failure to pass legislation banning horse slaughter means American horses are being slaughtered for human consumption abroad. Tens of thousands are shipped to Mexico and Canada annually, where they are killed under barbaric conditions.

It's tough being a wolf these days: Find food, find a pack, find a state boundary map, find a lawyer. On April 2 next week, a revised plan to remove the carnivores from federal Endangered Species Act protection should be published in the Federal Register.
