So I am sat here in the South West listening to the wind and rain, I not in Somerset but I am thinking of those there, be it horse people or farmers, we are lucky, our house and animals are on high ground though I know our only route to anywhere will not be passable in the morning, we have...

Well at least you have given us credit for something we are good at!:eek: Oh but hold on I just realised you are sat in one of those drinking haunts you are talking about, might explain a few things:)

At Last someone high profile has spoken out about this issue and I fully support her for having the guts to bring the issue up publicly, below is something I have copied and pasted which I posted a while ago, I would fully support any abattoir that started to or was to open to slaughter horses...

Afraid this sort of thing going on in all parts of the world, and thank you for posting this and will agree with others here to boycott these countries, yes most of the leading brand rugs and other equine products are manufactured in China along with human clothing etc, but while we want a cheap...

And I would consider it too if it were done correctly and I would be interested to know other peoples views on this?

All Meat that leaves a licenced slaughterhouse is passed as fit for human consumption and stamped, all meat is fully traceable any animal that is showing signs of illness or if the carcase is deemed unfit for a number of reasons including condition (emaciation) or a number of pathological...

When you click onto link look at top and click onto HORSE MEAT LINK INTERACTIVE more enlightening than the actual article, we all know they were slaughtering horses and selling horse meat along with other slaughterhouses that slaughter horses in the UK but it would seem there were shady goings...
