Issues
Lifting of horse slaughter ban
In November 2011, Wallis received criticism from animal activists Shane and Sia Barbi after the U.S. House and Senate approved spending bill H2112, which lifted the 6 year ban on the slaughter of horsed for consumption. Wallis stated that her pro-slaughter group "United Horsemen" would work closely with entities to open humane slaughter plants in Wyoming. Wallis's pro-slaughter stance prompted the Barbi sisters to label her as "Slaughter House Sue", and ask opponents of horse slaughter to call Rep. Wallis and voice their opposition.[2][3]
Wallis said, "you could always take your horse to sale and get a few dollars. And overnight we turned that valuable asset into a very expensive liability with zero options. … So people in desperation were turning them out, dumping their horses out on the desert where they have no more idea of how to fend for themselves in the desert then you and I would. They die of thirst and starvation, or worse, they have their guts torn out by coyotes while they’re still alive because they’re too weak to get up. That is inhumane. And that’s what really upsets horse people."[3]
