MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Geronimo was a beautiful painted quarter horse.
"He was a type of horse that he got along with everybody," says owner Ivonne Rodriguez. She had Geronimo for five years -- until his slaughtered carcass was found under a tree.

This is the kind of thing you'd think you'd see in central America, like mexico.
Wonder how that could happen here...
Yum. But I hope it doesn’t negatively impact the glue industry.
Multi-culturalism does have its dark side...
Give me one - Medium well.
Cuppla points here to the sorry excuse for a human being (s) that are doing this :
You aren't IN your "country of origin." If you miss gnawing on a horse, go back to whatever swamp you came from.
In your "country of origin," it may be legal to BUY & consume horse meat. But something tells me that STEALING a horse for any purpose isn't legal, even in your neck of the sewer.
In the Old West, horse thieves were strung up on the spot.
It was only a couple years ago they stopped selling it here in the US. Friggin sissies, horsemeat is delicious.
A post mentions the comparison to greasy manatee, but unfortunately no manatee recipes.
I’m not a very thin-skinned person and I guess your little “joke” would be funnier in some circumstances. In this instance it just falls flat and makes you appear pretty shallow.
I read your posts ALL the time, I figured you to be better than this. At least funnier anyway!

As far as I remember, horsemeat could be sold in the USA only to canners of dog food. I don’t think it was ever sold here for human consumption. France eats horsemeat, and meat was shipped there.
The slaughter houses were legislated out of existance. That presents it’s own set of problems, as when an older horse needs to be put down for age related miseries, there is no longer a slaughter house that can recycle it into dog food. Paying for euthanasia, pick up by the renderer, etc, is very expensive, and the price of dog food has climbed steadily since the slaughter houses were banned.
Delicious or not, they’re people’s pets man! I don’t know what your reaction would be if you came home to find your dog slaughtered to the bone. You people just sound dumb, IMO.
Too many people in cities makes for group lunacy.
Our culture is changing, we must get used to that fact and even approve of the changes. “Our Diversity Is Our Strength!” Love and Tolerance will conquer all negative feelings. There is room at the table! America is a big tent!
I doubt it still happens here, but I dated a girl whose grandfather owned and operated our local horse auction in Bucks Co. Lots of trips to New Holland to swap inventory, I never went, they used to stop for gas coming and going.
Rumor had it (probably factual) the cheap horses ended up at ALPO (Allentown) as pet food and the better ones were bought by the French, put on a ship and butchered before they got to France for human consumption.
Remember, these food factories turn out more than one label, I know our dog didn’t want the cheap stuff after we bought a can of good stuff because we were out.
Wow, those Burmese pythons are out of control.
If it’s an animal it is subject to eating; it just depends on your tastes.
Now killing someone else’s animal to eat is a different matter entirely.
Oh I have problem with eating it myself, I see no difference between that and beef.
What I find interesting is its probably a lot easier to kill and butcher a cow than it is a horse, and the fields are full of them too. I’m surprised that someone would go after something that pisses people off, whereas a cow means nothing to most Americans and finding a dead one in a field would bring a shoulder shrug and a “ho hum” attitude.
A dead horse though makes national news and is so exotic that getting caught with some would bring some big poop down on you too, unlike a cow would.
