It's American (I mean, Republican) dream....

"Lower taxes, eliminate regulations", their solution to EVERYTHING. ANYTHING to make a buck. NO MORALS.

It's time for the 99ers to get active with candidates or soon they will be eating canned horse meat, if they are lucky. BTW all the race horses are so full of steroids that the meat causes cancer. So most of it has been shipped to Europe (France) for sale and consumption. Lucky us! Soon it will be mixed in our burgers.... Yuck!

This More Loony Insanity....by the same CRACKPOTS,who gave us OBAMA CARE...The likes of...

Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., said the poor economy has resulted in "sad cases" of horse abandonment and neglect and lifting the ban will give Americans a shot at regaining lost jobs and making sure sick horses aren't abandoned or mistreated.

Once again Theat FREAGGIN BAUCUS..is on the Wrong track

In Europe they eat anything,even Horses...OBAMA wants the US to be like Europe.....

They estimate a slaughterhouse could open in 30 to 90 days with state approval and eventually as many as 200,000 horses a year could be slaughtered for human consumption. Most of the meat would be shipped to Europe and Asia, where it's treated as a delicacy.

Whats Next DOGS??? Those Asians eat dogs also!

this is UN AMERICAN!..so to his HUSSEIN!

Eating horses is not UNAMERICAN! It was a favorate food, especially when raiding, of the Comanches before they were subjugated about 1874. Most of you are not real Americans, just illegal immigrants that stole and raped this land.

If you want to bring God into this, there are scriptures that would tell one not to eat the hoofed animals without a clove.Clove in the hoof that is. Horses are not meant for consumption. What a sick World we have.

right now the horses are shipped to Canada and Mexico for slaughter.
this ban has only been in place since 2007, up until then (less than 5 years ago), horse slaughter was common.
