There’s a lot to know about this... And reporters will probably get most of it wrong. The horse meat scandal in Europe has to do, in part, with meat imported from Mexico, Canada and the U.S. Some of the mexican horse meat is from American horses transported for slaughter.

A major issue with North American horse meat is that it is often high in drugs and chemicals that aren’t allowed in meat intended for human consumption. That’s because in North America horses aren’t typically raised as livestock for their meat, like cows. Horses here are raised as companion animals... work animals... race horses... Anything but meat animals. Meds are commonly given to them for any number of good reasons and there is no tracking system for horses over their lifetime. But they’re also not supposed to be finding their way into the meat markets either. But they are... And in Europe where there -is- a large market for horse meat, there’s the additional complication that horse meat is being quietly substituted for other meat in many products without be labeled as such.

I didn’t know that there was so much horse meat available as to be so widespread.

Why not just start selling it like they were near the end of the Vietnam war, when meat shortages arose.

I don’t understand why anyone would get upset by getting horse meat!

U.S. Department of Agriculture regulators say ... the agency has strict labeling and inspection standards for imported meat.

Ever notice how gullible the bureaucrats are when it comes to waving pieces of paper? Like when peace in our time was declared?
