Judge orders AQHA to admit cloned horses into registry
U S District Judge Mary Lou Robinson in Amarillo issued an injunction against the American Quarter Horse Association, forcing it to allow cloned horses and their offspring into the registy. The ruling, tied to antitrust claims by two Texas ranchers, could set a nationwide precedent as no major horse breeding group currently registers cloned animals. The injunction takes effect 30 days after signing.
