huh? black market? for horse meat? WTF? you can buy that stuff legally. is horse meat against the law in the US? funny...

At least they are killing them for the meat. ( although tainted and potentaily not safe for human consumption due to what is injected and fed to pet/sport horses)

Still its Theft of an animal and Theft of a pet or whatever the owner is using it for. I dont see why they need to put an emotive spin on the news piece though just makes them look amateurish.

I was going to make a blanket statement but upon researching it a bit further...

Although the United Kingdom, Ireland, the US, English Canada and Australia are all among Countries that see Horse meat as a taboo and don't eat it, it looks like the US and Britain are the two top countries that prohibit the meat meat. The US does however have horse meat for slaughter but once mature horses are ready for slaughter, they are transported to Canada or to Mexico for slaughter.

Several countries that don't eat horse meat still farm them as cattle for slaughter for other south asian countries.

There is too much detail to go into here so check out the Wiki page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_meat
