The law of unintended consequences comes into play where the horsemeat industry is concerned. Horses had an intrinsic worth which was their weight related to the slaughter horse. Since the elimination of the slaughter market in the US, horses that no longer are desired or cannot perform have no worth and owners are neglecting them to die horrible deaths. They don't get care if necessary and are mistreated. Horse meat used to be dispensed by the US Government as “commodity meat” to the poor. As dog food it was a good source of protein. Since the law preventing the slaughter of US horses I've seen exponential increases in equine mistreatment and neglect.

Too true. Horses are a high maintenance animal. There’s a reason raising them is a rich man’s folly. This entire crisis was manufactured by dogooders trying to “save the horses.” Typically, they know nothing about animals and cause only harm. In effect, these bastards instituted neglect as the only legal option. It’s sick, but what do you expect when you have urban dwellers making policy for ranges.
