The horse meat is NOT being used in dog food or to feed starving masses.
Humans are the ones who domesticated the wild horses.
Ever since then, horses have stood beside us in time of war, carried us across the country, plowed our fields, gave us a job, helped give chronically ill children hope, and the disabled enjoyment, remain loyal at all times to their human companions. Horses, an integral part of North America's heritage and culture, are favored animals, just like cats and dogs. They were needed for the survival of all people from all walks of life on this and every other continent on this planet. Canadians and Americans do not eat horses, BUT other cultures do and have for centuries. The killing of horses will never be stopped.
