“is the only thing that Democrats and Republicans can agree on is that Americans need to eat horses?”
Is there any serious argument FOR the government telling us what meats we can and cannot consume?

A shallow and ill researched screed worthy of PETA.
The only real story here is Obama trying to jump in and take credit for congress repealing a mess they had ill advisedly made.

It's been a couple years since we visited this topic. At the time I think the issue was shipping horses to France, where humans eat them.
Can't blame Obama till he signs the bill, but he's written about eating dog in Indonesia, so this shouldn't be an issue.
Personally I'm not a horse fan, but I certainly wouldn't eat one for various reasons. I suppose eating horse doesn't have to be illegal, but I always wonder about the impetus to changes. Is there a "let's eat horse" lobby? Do they want horse as an ingredient on Iron Chef?

Just because Americans don’t eat horse meat is no reason to ban slaughterhouses from processing horses for export. Such bans merely lead to the export of live horses who are then slaughtered in Mexico and then Mexican’s end up with jobs that Americans could definitely use right about now.
Oh, and when you live on a ranch you discover that “wild horse” is how you say ‘pigeon’ in the country.

It is about time they corrected this.
Under the old laws older or unwanted horses were often left to starve to death. With the economy in shambles people could not afford to keep horses around. It got to the point that you couldn't even give a good horse away. With the restrictions in place some people just turned them out on government land and fed the coyotes and mountain lions.There have been a dozen cases in this area where horses were found dead or nearly dead of starvation. Even the people who originally supported this wanted it overturned. I don't know where you got that 70% figure but it sure isn't true around here.

The propaganda said that slaughtering horses for dog food had been made illegal. Maybe that was a lie. If you want European style steak tartar, go back to Italy. This is not Europe.

As much as we all like horses, this is a good thing. Here in OK, hay and grain prices coupled with the bad economy have forced people to turn their horses loose. You can’t give horses away anymore. I don’t know how many free horses I have turned down this fall. Taking them to the live stock auction used to get you at least $100, now even young but unbroken horses bring less than the $10 auction fee.
