Argument against Proposition 6 Arguments on this page are the opinions of the authors and have not been checked for accuracy by any official agency. Proposition 6 is one of the strangest measures ever to go before California voters. But the fact is, they have no right to use the power of government to regulate peoples' eating habits. People make many choices in life. What they eat is quite fundamental.
Some people like to eat horsemeat.
Because of this, a few businesses cater to the demand and sell the product. The government should not be involved. Proposition 6 makes killing a horse for human consumption a felony. It also makes selling horsemeat a felony on the second offense. This is an absolute misuse of the law and of our justice system.
