RE: [RC] [RC] Reality bites - Kelly Lane

Well said Karen. Its not about the eating, its about the inhumane treatment, irresponsible ownership and the throw away overproduction. Period.

This statement amuses me.  I doubt that many folk (though there will always be some) are opposed to the "eating of horses" but rather the appalling treatment of horses through the slaughter process.  Even in America in times of need, horses were eaten and, if those circumstances occur again, will most likely be brought again to the dining table.
 
Interestingly, the foreign owners of Cavel, etc., are not making their millions by selling horsemeat to the impoverished and starving countries in the world but rather the wealthy diners who have discretionary dollars to spend.
 
Also, the foreign owners of the slaughter plants come to America to purchase and process their horse products because our horses are so cheap.  Our horses are so cheap because we produce too many.  We produce too many because we are a greedy nation.  Now, therein lies the real bite.

Those who claim that it is immoral to eat any horse or even their own horse, should ask themselves the
following question:  "How hungry and starving would my child have to be before I killed my horse or dog
and fed it to them?"  This is the true reality that does bite.
