HoofPAC Political Action Committee

HoofPAC is the political action committee that has been formed to end the slaughter of America's horses. Cathleen Doyle, founder of HoofPAC, led the successful Save The Horses campaign in 1998 that made the slaughter of California's horses a felony.

Cavel, Int.
DeKalb, IL
Approximately 790 Miles From New Holland, PA

(Note: Citizen groups in 2 towns turned away Cavel's attempt to relocate)

Cavel's plant was destroyed by fire in 2002. Cavel blames it on "animal rights activists" The ATF is investigating the fire and until their report states that animal rights activists burned the plant, any statement by Cavel is suspect. Cavel's plant in Redmond, OR was also destroyed by fire. Arson for insurance is another possibility. Cavel is relocating to Canada.
