It also makes selling horsemeat a felony on the second offense. This is an absolute misuse of the law and of our justice system. Felonies are serious offenses, most often involving violations of peoples' rights. Good examples are murder, rape and armed robbery. Selling horsemeat is certainly not in that league.
People have the right to eat horsemeat if they want to.
Residents of other nations, like Canada, enjoy it more than Americans do, and in fact, horsemeat exports often go there. To outlaw its sale and consumption is cultural imperialism at its worst. Proposition 6 is dangerous, unnecessary, unconstitutional and downright nutty. Keep the state government out of our stables and out of our kitchens.
