Lawyer for horse processing plant intends to sue New Mexico AG for defamation
The lawyer for Valley Meat Co., a proposed horse processing plant in Roswell, N.M., says that he intends to sue New Mexico Attorney General Gary King for malicious abuse of the court system. According to the Santa Fe New Mexican, Blair Dunn sent a letter to the state government saying that he will sue King for harassing the slaughterhouse with the substantial resources of his taxpayer-funded office. Written notice is required before a lawsuit can be brought against the state, Dunn said.
King last month filed a lawsuit in state court to stop the company from opening. He said Valley Meat poses environmental and health risks to New Mexico residents.
