Residents of Archie asked to conserve water

Horse slaughtering plant hits snag; Wallis looks to Oklahoma
According to information taken from the Equine Welfare Alliance web site, the proposed horse slaughtering plant in Rockville has hit a bump in the road that my very well keep Sue Wallis from doing business in Bates County- at least in the foreseeable future.
Opening a similar plant also didn't happen as planned in the state of Wyoming and Mountain Grove Mo., so now Wallis has set her sights on Oklahoma, according to the EWA.
It is reported that the Rockville plant, which previously was a beef slaughtering facility, is entangled in a 'complex web of civil and criminal issues', which purportedly includes criminal theft charges against its Canadian operator, Vincent Paletta.
