The city of Sioux Falls, SD, rejected a measure to ban new slaughter facilities within the city limits.
The measure, which appeared on the midterm ballot, failed, with 52% of voters voting “no” on the measure. A total of 55,690 people voted.
If the measure had passed, no new slaughterhouse would have been permitted to operate or be constructed within Sioux Falls’ city limits. The measure did not pertain to any existing facilities, nor did it apply to the expansion or alteration of any facility constructed and operating before the effective date of the measure.
