we shot ourselves in the foot. they think it'll bring back a 65 million industry but they forget that the government has to pay now to regulate the industry and make sure it's not cruel slaughtering done. which sounds like it always is a pretty cruel industry.
even though i'm farm and ag minded, i just don't see a point to eating or slaughtering horses. i don't think they were bred for eating, they are thick and tough muscled animals for power work not tender like a grazing cow.
just icky and sad and i couldn't eat a horse. they are too pretty and majestic and too companion pet animal for me.
not to mention all the tax dollers we will pay to fund the government having to regulate everything. |
