I love my horse and someday will have to bury him. However, horses are livestock and there are too many in the U.S. now. Not a lot of people want to keep one in a pasture and pay for vet bills, feed, and stall. I don’t want to eat horse meat but if someone else does I don’t have a problem with that as long as the horse is humanely killed. And there is a better chance of that happening in the U.S. than if the horse gets shipped to Mexico for slaughter. How come some of the people raising Cain about killing horses will defend the right to kill a viable baby anyway. It’s a wierd world Willlllbur.

You are right on the money. I want to grab these idiots who pass these laws and rub their faces in the cruelty they cause. This really gets me angry.

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!
