Not exactly. In late 2011, a budget bill to keep the government going passed congress and was signed into law by President Obama. It contained, as such bills often do, non-related attachments, which are often not popular and might not pass on their own. In this bill, the attachment was to stop funding inspections of slaughterhouses. There was nothing in the bill at that time to allow horses to be killed, but critics said it opened the door.

Some sources also reported that congress had passed a repeal of the horse slaughter bill of 2006. Since 2006, all horses were shipped to either Mexico or Quebec for processing. These reports asserted that states like South Dakota, where the South Dakota Stockgrowers Association came out in favor of such a repeal, were ready to build slaughterhouses for horses. But as of July 2012, in the face of public criticism, no slaughterhouses for horses had been built.

Did president Obama sign martial law on 19 March 2012?

No, this is another internet myth. The president has not declared martial law, on 19 March 2012 or on any other day. If there were martial law, you would see U.S. soldiers in the streets arresting large numbers of people and putting them in detention camps. This has not happened, nor is it likely to occur. Further, there is no evidence that Mr. Obama will declare martial law, contrary to partisan claims by some of his political opponents.
