There was a horse meat processing plant in Fort Worth Texas. The ehrmergerders became enraged. Headlines in the Ft. Worth papers “They are murdering our horses!”. This happened every couple of years or so. The EMGs got busy and got a law passed, that you can’t process horse meat in Texas. So it moved south to Mexico. Then the EMGs found out that people were shipping the horses to Mexico. Well, they got another law passed that you can’t ship horses out of Texas to be slaughtered.
Real good of them. But a horse veternarian told me that what it did was that ranchers and other horse users no longer could dispose of injured, old, or otherwise unusable horses, mules or donkeys humanely. So all they could do was turn them out into puplic lands to starve or be eaten by wild animals. Some ranchers have means to kill and bury them. But many users don’t have the means. Even so, people who do humanely dispose of them by killing and burying them have to be extremely careful or they will be charged with animal cruelty.
Twenty years ago a local veternarian told us that there were 200,000 horses in this county alone. I’m sure they have increased. That ensures that there are a lot of unusable animals to be disposed of.
Anyway a good thick juicy horse steak is low fat, low cholesterol and very tasty. So there. Scream about that EMGers.
I used to go to Mexico occasionally to eat horse steak and cabrito. A Mexican told me to avoid the places where tourists eat, always eat where you see Mexicans eating. So I did.
I have never gotten Montezuma’s Revenge from Mexico.
