Sobbing…gasping…swooning… *faints*

Say it ain’t so. President Obama done opened up the flood gates for horse meat sales. In the words of Ms. Phaedra from RHOA “Everybody knows even France who once saw horse meat as a delicacy priced over steak have suggested to stop the sale of it in restaurants due to health concerns. It is common for breeders to provide medications and topical treatments that are never to be used on animals intended for food. I am starting to think someone is trying to kill all of us off to create a NWO….

We are seeing a paradigm shift. Horses were once friendly companions to humans not dinner. If you are not moved by the emotional impact to frying, grilling, sauteeing or baking Mr. Ed Say No To Slaughterhouses website provides the economic impact. Excerpt below.

“Forget about the emotional side for a moment, and consider the raw numbers and economics. Sure, things will be hard for a while, but what about the long term effects? If the bottom of the horse market falls out (which it has been doing slowly anyway), what will happen? In my estimation, show horses and other high priced horses should only be minimally effected. That class of horses does not rely on slaughter to set price trends. Their prices follow the demand for the sport/horse, trends in horses/sports, and the generally economy. The sector that will be hit the hardest are the low priced horses, poor quality horses, and “common” horses (those already in a saturated market). “

“So, what will happen when those horses lose value? Breeders who breed these horses will lose money, horse dealers/traders with this stock will lose money, auction houses will start loosing money. It may take a few breeding seasons, but eventually, these people will get tired of losing money. Breeders will sell out or switch to a better breed/type that will bring in money. Horse dealers/traders will do the same. Auction houses will have to start figuring out how to bring in better horses, different horses, or different “things” to sell. No one likes to lose money!!! Because of the falling prices, the average horse buyer will start demanding better quality for his/her money. It’s Toyota’s lovely “Trade Up” instinct. So, it’s only logical to think that sellers/breeders will follow the money and start breeding/selling better horses. Eventually, we will have a more stable horse market, see better prices, and see better quality horses being bred.”

Don’t these Kentucky Derby people with all their funds have anyone lobbying against this?

Capitalism isn’t Freedom anymore. No one is safe . Whats next… I don’t want to eat my puppy
