they give the cattle we eat banamine bute when they get down. The cows that test positive for bruceillos are slaughtered and then the meat acidised and we buy it in the stores as lean hamburger meat, yet no one says anything and labels the meat saying that. I have eaten horse meat. when I was in england last time beef was 28 dollars a pound horse meat was 7 dollars a pound it tasted wonderful yet I wondered if it could of been a horse I had sold at one time or another. We are not saying you have to eat horse. Do we make you eat liver if you don't like it or make you drink milk some of you drink almond milk instead its your choice. I'm sick of seeing starving horses abused horses. Everyone can afford to buy one but they don't ever ck in to the cost of taking care of one. How many horses do you own? how many horses have you rescued? How many of you might of eaten horse meat and never known it. OMG you better go to your doctor and have tests down some of your symtoms might be related to that pork or beef you ate with the growth hormones and pain meds that were shot into them!!!!!!!!!!
