in sweeden the horse might end up at the altar in a bridal gown.

Nearly all of it is sold overseas, to countries like France, Belgium, Italy, and Japan, where horse is a delicacy.

Well, now we know where Kerry will end up when he's put out to pasture.

Horse. The other red meat........

When I was in Sardinia, every restaurant I ate in had horse on the menu.

It looks like beef, acts like beef, but has a unique taste all its own.

When buggy horses get too old or feeble, the Amish sell them at auction.

Got any idea what it would cost to keep them around and then bury them?

This is a standard PETA rant with a sentimental coating because they are horsies.
The only differences between horses and cattle is that cattle taste better and are a lot smarter.

Whatever happened to the glue factories? That's where I thought horses went. Reality check!

Horses migrated from North America to Asia at least twice, and probably 3 times, before they survived there. They then became extinct in North America.

The major reason the horse survived in Asia and Europe, was because it tastes good. The cartage and riding, (along with a lot of selective breeding), came later.

I don't like the murder of these horses for whatever reason - a horse is a noble animal - I don't believe in killing dogs and cats for food too or monkeys - they are too close to human's soul.

Horses? That reminds me. Wanna hear a joke about George?

In ALL fairness, Leroy Baker isn't near as bad as the rest of the meat men. YES, he's a kill buyer, BUT, he will 'cull' the herd and save the horses that are decent mounts. He will bring them back at another auction, run 'em through, and if they don't bring what he thinks they're worth, he 'no sales' 'em and takes 'em back home.

I've also been told that if 'you' are there on auction day, see a horse he buys/price it brought , you can contact him later, and buy the horse from him at a few dollars over his buying price.

It breaks my heart to see all the horses that end up on the 'meat wagons'. But, I realize it's just a business for those people. And I can't save the world.(as hubby jokingly says about me, when I save one)

We just lost our last rescue last Sat. Thanks to FR's Saddle Club, I'm 'healing'. But gosh darn it, they haven't tried to convince me to stay AWAY from Sugarcreek. LOL!!!

Question: Does horse taste like glue?
