And we have been told all along it was all hay and oats

Yes and the Europes testing of the meat that has not been the most diligent has found butte in the meat, since Europeans don't use butte where do you think the meat came from? the borders being closed to any horses headed to slaughter answers that question.
Now because of the butte the testing in Europe has found a the meat has all kinds of drugs. With most of the drugs used in race horses and performance horses also performance enhancers!
Steroids so I guess after eating horse meat when all the European males nuts shrink is a pretty good indicator this horse meat is not organically raised for human consumption.
I also found it curious the New Holland barn fire yesterday.
New Holland auction yard is a notoriously well known for all its killer buyers who buy horses for slaughter at this very famous sale.
People seem to have the attitude horses meat is used for animals.
Absolutely not slaughter is for human consumption.
Look on your wormers what they say ? "not to be used on animals intended for meat.
Also look at many supplement the same thing is on the label and on salves we use on horses for a scrape or cut.
Many of you are familiar with organic raised beef for slaughter.
the moment that beef is given antibiotic it is no longer organic and has to be reported as such.
Horse meat for human consumption must be organically raised.
Performance horses were not meant for human consumption.
The Pandora box is now open.
Owners must be responsible and trainers to do the right thing.
Slaughter contractors have duped owners and trainers with lies of finding good homes for retired race horses , their forging of papers on horses and switching id's on horses have now jeopardize lives of human beings.
I still feel this criminal behavior of the slaughter pipeline is awful not just the holocaust to horses also human lives for the monetary gain of a dollar.
They should all be charged with attempted murder.
