So little facts, so much rhetoric.
First of all, “Obama” didn’t do this, the federal government did it — it’s a law passed and signed.
Second of all, I don’t believe it’s for consumption in America — the meat is to be exported. For some reason, the federal government doesn’t think Americans have the right to choose what they eat, even when it is approved for human consumption.
Our local Democratic idiot Jim Moran is fighting this bill. His argument is that HE doesn’t want to eat horse meat, so nobody should be allowed to eat it. Also that since the meat is for other countries, he doesn’t think American taxpayers should have to foot the bill for the regulatory agency’s horse meat inspection process.
So you see, there are dying horses. They could be put humanely to sleep, and turned into food for other countries, adding to our exports. But our government is so over-regulated that you need a federal law to do this, and a federal regulatory agency to inspect it, and because some congressman doesn’t want to eat horse meat, he thinks nobody in the world should be allowed to eat a horse from america.
BTW, I believe it was still legal to ship horses to other countries, where they would be slaughtered and processed. So really we were just creating American manufacturing jobs here. But some democratic congressman doesn’t like that.
That is the key point-are they?
