The point isn't to stifle business, though that is sometimes the effect. It's almost always a tradeoff.
Regulations might require the abattoir upstream to dispose of blood and offal in some way other than dumping it in the river. Yeah, it costs the abattoir more to find a more sanitary way of disposing off the stuff, but the regulations put the cost on him, and not the humans and animals that live downstream.
Everybody wants regulations, as long as they are only on the other guy.
