The utterly-corrupt EXEMPT treasonous HATED Congress
just has not found a way to make money from it ... yet.
Where are the Dog slaughter houses?
T. Boone Pickens trophy wife, Madeleine, gets her way again.
Cows seem so much more vegetative than horses. I wouldn’t want to see horses slaughtered on the same scale as cows. I’m no expert on the subject.
Why couldn’t the states decide this for themselves?
The feds could ban horsemeat crossing state lines if they wanted to be intrusive.
I’d certainly at least try it. I eat chicken feet and sea cucumbers.
It is shortsighted, tree-huggin’ do-gooders like these idiots that have led to many people simply turning their domestic horses out on federal or state lands to fend for themselves. They become unwitting prey to various other animals, or die from exposure, exhaustion or dehydration.
Animals that have been cared-for their entire lives are ill equipped to survive in the wild.
But, these jackasses would rather that, than a more humane end. Processing horse meat is no different than beef, pork, or poultry; or, deer, wild turkey, pheasant, squirrel, rabbit, and on and on and on.
Get past the supposed ick factor and really consider the better approach.

But slaughtering babies is A-OK
Worse than that are the much longer, grueling hauls to the Mexican border where they’ll ~still~ be slaughtered with very little in the way of “humane” treatment.
Wonderful news. There is no humane way to slaughter horses. Plus most horse meat would not be fit for human consumption because of the drugs commonly used in routine horse care such as wormers.
Horses, dogs, bald eagles, et al must be available for consumption if there’s a market for their meat, and if not, if someone wants to create one for the same.
The Government can’t dictate what the people want to eat.
There’s no humane way to slaughter anything, if horses can’t be slaughtered humanely.
If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it is that you can kill anything humanely.
And shipping them to a less humane slaughter is even more stupid.
Wow, great priorities! Horses trump punishing the IRS!
I recently made the mistake of Googling “dog” and “Chinese food” while looking for animal halloween costumes.
Not a mistake I will make again.
Eye opening..... to say the least.
65-70 years ago i used to buy horsemeat for cat food all the time.
