California Proposition 6 (1998) : ウィキペディア英語版 | California Proposition 6 (1998)
Proposition 6 was an initiative statute that appeared on the November 3, 1998 California general election ballot. It was passed with 4,670,524 ''Yes'' votes, for 59.4 percent of the total votes cast. The proposition added sections 598c and 598d to the California Penal Code, making it a felony for any person in the state to possess, transfer, receive, or hold a horse (defined to include ponies, donkeys and mules) with the intent to kill it, or have it killed, where the person knows, or should have known, that any part of the carcass will be used for human consumption.〔(League of Women Voters ) "Proposition 6 Criminal Law: Prohibition on Slaughter of Horses and Sale of Horsemeat for Human Consumption," (1998).〕 An additional provision makes it a misdemeanor to sell horseflesh within the state as meat intended for human consumption. The law further allows for anyone previously convicted of selling horsemeat to be charged with a felony in any future prosecutions for the same offense. Only about one percent of California horses were previously slaughtered for horsemeat, primarily for export to markets in Belgium, France, Italy, and Japan.〔(League of Women Voters ) "Proposition 6 CRIMINAL LAW. PROHIBITION ON SLAUGHTER OF HORSES AND SALE OF HORSEMEAT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION," (1998).〕 Horsemeat is rarely eaten by people in the United States. == See also ==
