Ok, found Cavel listed with active licensing at the USDA. They just reopened in April after they place was burned down.
15849 E --- Cavel International --- 108 Harvestore Drive --- DeKalb, IL 60115 --- Slaughter/ Cutting --- Equine --- 15, T
So they are not in business illegally.
I also saw they are listed on a 'Eligible Plant List for Mexico'.
I would guess, our regulations in the slaughter industry is MUCH MORE HUMANE than if they went to Mexico.
