>I dont have a problem with that as long as the horse is humanely killed.<
This is the ENTIRE issue, IMO. Since horse slaughter house operations in the US have closed they are now being inhumanely killed in Mexico. The horses that were stolen in Florida were probably killed and butchered in a Cuban butcher shop and the meat sold locally.
I doubt if it was passed off as a different kind of meat because it sure doesn’t taste like pork or beef, too lean.

Ain’t that the truth!

I thought were were in the new era of pie.Before Obama, our economic output was compared to a pie. With Obama in office, it is now compared to a tart.

Wow. The government is creating a black market for horse meat.
Typically stupid.

I don’t think they really care. They just want the votes and do it because they can.
We are so far outside of the Constitutional bounds with our government what is to stop them?

Had it in Europe. Considered a delicacy, is often smoked and served in cold cuts, very lean and very red, similar in texture and color as buffalo meat. Also served in beefsteak tartare in better restaurants but best served as panfried steak with spring potatoes and salad. A good bordeaux goes well with it.

Well, panfried steak doesn't sound too far off the Texas map.
Funny that it is a delicacy - it has been a meat of necessity at certain points in history, as in WWII here. It is probably the pets-as-meat taboo that keeps us from eating it more, but I wonder if it isn't also the taste? Rabbits have a similar taboo, but are easily raised, yet you don't see the meat much except at high end places. I don't care for the taste, and preparation is a royal pain. Goats, ditto.

It sounds like the problem is people passing off horse meat as another kind of meet. I guess people who want to eat horse meat are free to eat it.Um, did you read the article? The headline read:
New bill would make it near impossible to legally consume horse meat in Florida
Doesn't sound like what you wrote.
