Another Obama campaign promise dies; He approves horse slaughter for food

While you were preparing for Thanksgiving and President Obama was sparing the life of a couple of photo op turkeys, he also approved legislation that will result in the domestic slaughter of thousands of horses every year for human food.

For the past half-decade the relatives of Flicka, Black Beauty and Seabiscuit have been spared the domestic livestock disassembly line -- the quick blow to the head, bleeding, eviscerating, slicing, grinding, packaging and cooking that comes with being edible around hungry Americans or shipped abroad as a delicacy for foreign palates.

The wookie said that she was so hungry she could eat a horse, so Zero had to make it legal...

OBAMA NOV 2012 = HORSEMEAT

...Especially if it’s halalalalalalh.

What? This isn’t bad. This is DOUBLEPLUS GOOD!

HE just offers to “Ban” it again, to his mindless base!

[RexBeach]

You know, there’s something really emblematic about this.

Zillions of people are out of work, and the Obama White House makes it possible again to consume horseflesh.

Boy, wait’ll I tell “Trigger” and “Topper!”

[frogjerk]

Obama’s new nickname is now Horsemeat.

Well done!!

Slaughtering horses sounds like fun, but what I bet is REALLY fun is shooting gorillas on the Golden Gate Bridge with a machine gun from a helicopter.

That’d make a good birthday present.

ROY ROGERS: “Trigger, more hay?”
TRIGGER: “No thanks, I’m stuffed.”

When I was young, fresh horsemeat was a dogfood stable.

I prefer hunting Giant Pandas.

[Mr. K]

He was probably HOPING no one would notice he allowed it, so he could take credit for banning it

He probably still will- sayin ghe had no idea those evil republicans had hid it in the bill

[dblshot]

Just trying to improve our trade deficit with France.

There’s an article on Drudge about how upset the Barbi Twins are about this. It was accompanied by.......

a photo of horses. Sigh.....

[frogjerk]

In the conference committee, the Senate version won by a nose. And Obama quietly signed the death warrant legislation on Nov. 18. He was abroad again at the time. So the White House used a robot pen.

What?

I wonder if Restaurant Suppliers will start carrying it. I noticed that beef prices on some cuts went up three dollars a lb from yesterday/November prices when I was at the Suppliers today with the new December prices.

Also, in the past, most beef at the Supplier’s was usda choice, I noticed in the past several weeks, they are bringing in more usda Select cuts...which are now going for what Choice used to go for..

[kosciusko51]

Well done!!

I think she likes it rare.

[WayneS]

Yes.

The Bill was signed by the RPOTUS.

Under the same logic, of putting our heritage on the table, how long before Rin Tin Tin is in a saucepan?
