This is horrible as the reliable sources I have read show there is no such thing as humane horse slaughter.

BAck during the bogus ‘beef shortage’ of the 70s, it was for sale in the supermarket in Las Vegas.

Very low fat, and tasty.

Mule isn’t so good.

Took a pass on dog while in the ROK...

Plus, some kind of disease or the other. Not enough people here to kill them all. That took thousands of years. Now we can kill anything!

I’ll take one of those with a pile of fried potatoes and onions and large, cold glass of raw milk.

We keep sending rice to the NORK military to feed the prison guards that oversee prison camps where several thousand children are butchered and eaten every year.

Horse meat has been part of human gastronomy going back to the original untamed horses in central Asia highlands.

IN the continental United States, no area of wilderness is more than 18 miles from a road. There is no longer a wilderness for the pretty horses to run wild, and the BLS has been fighting to maintain healthy mustang populations through culling programs for years, and the situation is untenable at current. Saving the mustangs by not culling destroyed the ENTIRE ecosystem, the horse herds ate every piece of vegetation and created desertification in under 20 years in some areas.

As mentioned in an above post in the NYC area there are so many deer due to idiotic anti-hunting regulations that over 30 species of native ground nesting birds no longer exist here, as well as many many other species of flora and fauna. And the prior NJ DEP head is the Obama EPA head, and Lisa P Jackson is an anti-hunting zealot...

The watermelon and emotive enviros can not properly form conservation policy, as they have proven over and over again in the prior four decades. Hopefully Congress will stop whoring themselves out to insane PR campaigns by enviro-idiots in the future.

I own a very nice horse leather holster for my Glock 19, a Galco Skyops. Horses ARE killed for human consumption in the USA. Not something I particularly want to eat, BUT again, we will be using more of the carcass.

Yes, this is good for the horses. It restores a monetary value to older horses that no longer earn their keep, and will encourage owners to sell them rather than neglect them to die from poor nutrition and declining health.

As mentioned above, far too many horses have been dumped onto public lands by their economically challenged owners. When turned loose, the horses usually die a horrible death within 18 months.

As to which is smarter, the horse or cow, hands down the cow! Horses are really stupid, but mules are a whole nother story. Mules are often smarter than their riders!

Horse slaughter plants are legal again in the United States.

Good.

Better that they are sold for legal slaughter than what is happening now which is people are dumping them.

People can take dogs or cats to shelters. Cows and pigs can be sold for slaughter but what the heck do you do with a unwanted horse, donkey or mule?

Not that I think any states would endorse eating bikers.

No probably not. . .especially those; like our Prez; who, according to all vacation pics; prefers to ride a girls bike. . .

Difficult, actually, to imagine Obama on a 'real' man's bike; much less a motor cycle...No, the 'girl's bike'does work. . .but is low on appetite scale.

Millions of "play horses" in this country.

No forage, no feed due to drought.

Cheap-a$$ grass hay that was $4 a bale last year, now $12.

Can't feed 'em, can't sell 'em. The only thing some people can do is to turn them out or shoot them and let them rot where they fall.

The ones that get turned out often wind up coming through a windshield.

This may be the only thing Obama and his bunch have done with which I can agree.

Horse has a finer grain, is more tender and a touch sweet.

Bison is coarser, can be tough and has a richer flavor than beef.

I like ‘em all.

Thanks!

I had a Bison burger years ago, I think it was in Buffalo Wyoming, and it was the best burger I have ever tasted.
