Horse slaughter banned in N.J. and Bruce Springsteen's daughter had role

New Jersey has made a firm statement that the state does not eat horse meat, and the animals will remain in the stable.

Examiner.com reported that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has signed legislation that makes it illegal to slaughter horses for human consumption in the state. The bill forbids transportation of live horses to be used for slaughter, and bans the sale and transporting of horse meat for human consumption.

The ASPCA was appreciative of Christie’s signing of the measure. Debora Bresch, of ASPCA Government Relations for the Mid-Atlantic region said, according to the Sacramento Bee. "By signing this bill into law, Governor Christie has spared New Jersey exposure to the extreme cruelty of horse slaughter and the trade that has made the state a major artery for the transport of horses to slaughterhouses in Canada.”

There are no slaughter houses in the United States, but over 100,000 American horses are sent to Canada and Mexico to be slaughtered.

“This bipartisan measure ensures that no horse is slaughtered in New Jersey for human consumption. It also ensures that our highways will not be used to transport horses to slaughter in other states which have not enacted a similar ban on the practice,” said Christie, according to NorthJersey.com.

The new law assesses fines of at least $100 and 30 days imprisonment for anyone convicted for slaughtering or selling horse meat for human consumption, and imposes civil fines of $500 to $1,000 for each horse that is slaughtered.

The governor’s decision may have been influenced in some small part by the 20-year-old daughter of Christie favorite, Bruce Springsteen.

According to an Associated Press report in the Washington Post, the ASPCA says that accomplished equestrian Jessica Springsteen’s name is on a letter urging Christie to sign the bill to ban horse slaughter in New Jersey.

Children can be conned out of inheritance after multiple marriages

BY CAROL ABAYA NEWJERSEYNEWSROOM.COM THE SANDWICH GENERATION Multiple marriages and blended families can mean children get cheated out of money and assets their parent(s) earned and had before the second or third marriage. At the 2012 senior citizens’ law day conference, Lawrence A. Friedman, Bridgewater elder law attorney, said elders need to protect their children of prior marriages from being disinherited. "Even if your spouse’s current will provides for your children, your spouse may change it after you pass away,” he said. In addition to protecting one's child, an appropriate will can minimize N.J. estate taxes, which kick in if assets are over $675,000. At the conference, Cathyanne Pisciotta from North Brunswick discussed guardianship which could be necessary if various legal documents are not signed. Pisciotta said that if a person does not have a durable power of attorney (for financial affairs) and a living will (for medical decisions), anyone else can seek guardianship of that person. An expensive court proceeding is mandatory. And she said, “If one person seeks guardianship, someone else can challenge the appointment. Another relative may seek to be appointed guardian because he/she wants the money and power.”
