The reason cited for ending the ban? A GAO report on unintended consequences, says the Oklahoman: Members of Congress who decided to end the prohibition on domestic horse slaughtering relied heavily on research provided in June by the General Accountability Office, Congress' auditing arm.

YaRight User ID: 1219589 United States 11/29/2011 10:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It tastes very very much like beef. If people dont' know it's horse, they will literally assume it's beef. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1284302 Very simple, not at all glamorous, but that's the truth. Very true I had it one time while in England once I was told what is was…well needness to say I stopped eating right away lol The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6172499 Canada 11/29/2011 11:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I like horse meat, but no longer buy it because my kids have a precious attitude to horses. In the Netherlands we called it Paardvlees and it was a regular staple in sandwiches for lunch. It is very lean and not a bit like beef. The closest I have come across is moose. It is best eaten very thinly sliced. |

Just curious, did you buy horse meat in Canada? What was the price relative to beef or pork? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6235835 United States 11/29/2011 12:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Our relatives knew what it tasted like. Back in the 50's was when mechanized farm equipment started taking over what had been the job of horse teams on most farms. This meant there was a huge overpopulation of horses, as there is today. And it was not uncommon for horses to be slaughtered and eaten, though it wasn't really talked about. Everyone knew it and some did it. I have horses, and let me tell you, it is hard to bury 1200 lbs. of well fed meat. But there has been nothing other to do with it since the ban on slaughter several years ago which ruined the horse industry. I am a horse lover. But I challenge anyone to go into the back lot of a horse auction and meet up with some of the unhandled, rank and sour horses penned there and tell me that horses are pets. There are very many dangerous horses. Today, it costs over $400.00 to have a horse euthanized and his carcass hauled off. Very few of the rural horse owners can afford that. I actually know quite a bit about the subject, and I am grateful that horse processing is on its way back. There were a lot of problems due to transportation, and managing of the horses once on the facilities, but there is no reason those should not be humanely addressed. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 6235835 United States 11/29/2011 12:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Another thing; horse meat is much healthier than beef for people. It has higher protein and lower fat, and is much like emu in that regard. It is a far superior meat. Also, the reason there are still WW1 & II bomber jackets around is that they were made by our government out of horse hide, not cowhide. Horse hide is also a very superior leather. And as much as I hate to say it, I am of the belief that our govt has a plan for the over 30,000 BLM horses it has in pens which cost millions to maintain. Hate to say it, but I think our govt will someday be feeding those horses to people in fema camps. |
