While a new Oklahoma law would allow a horse slaughter facility in the state, the new budget proposed by the White House would not spend any money on inspecting the facilities.
The Obama administration has included a proposal in its 2014 budget that would effectively ban the slaughter of horses for human consumption.

The proposal was greeted enthusiastically by horse lovers and animal advocacy groups.
