With reference to U.S. domestic horses being slaughtered, their meat is not fit for consumption due to the fact that they are not regulated as meat animals under USDA standards. ......Race horses, sport horses and pet horses are regularly given drugs banned for use in meat animals.... The meat is not safe, period... As for the slaughter of wild horses, that is a finite group... They do not multiply as quickly as often stated, and there are not as many of them left in the wild as stated... If there are 100,000 U.S. wild horses left in total, in the wild and in holding combined, that number does not support a horse slaughter plant for very long..... You will soon run out of wild horses and again simply be contaminating the world's food supply with domestic horse's tainted meat..... Wild horses that have been in "holding" have also been given substances banned for use in meat animals..... Did you know that one dose of "Bute" renders the animal unfit for human consumption in the EU?.
