Re: [RC] Fw: Please contact NBC over next Fear Factor show involving Horse ... - Bonnie Davis

Thanks for setting me straight.  Is the selling of horsement illegal?  Since
so many 'peoples of other lands' live in the US and eat horsemeat in their
homelands -- I wonder when Albertson's, Safeway, Nob Hill and other
supermarkets will begin selling it.  I suppose it's just a matter of time
and how many people request for it to be sold....

I don't believe consuming horsemeat is illegal - it's just that it's not a
culturally "accepted" food in the US, as it is in some other countries

where

horsemeat is eaten regularly.  For me, the big issue with slaughtering

horses

for human consumption is the often-inhumane manner in which they're
transported and/or held prior to slaughter.  The reduction in the number

of

slaughter houses has actually increased the distance many horses must be
transported.  I don't know that it's decreased the actual *number*
slaughtered...no info on that.  No, I don't like the idea of horses being
killed, but it's not illegal to eat them.
