Unwanted Horses are a Myth...

I will be going to bed early tonight so I can get up early and head to Austin for a very important Texas Senate Agricultural and Rural Development hearing. They are pondering the economic impact of the closing of horse slaughter plants in 2007 under the guise of being concerned for the welfare of "Unwanted Horses", a term coined by those wishing to reopen the slaughter plants. A single plant is planned for Texas. 

Some fools (who are behind this) think that opening the plants again will somehow improve or benefit the Texas economy. How about a JOBS PLAN? Know how many jobs it will provide? 50! Yes fifty jobs, if that, dead end jobs with no benefits or chance for promotion or enhancement of skills... just the same old mishandling and killing of horses, day in and day out. Anybody interested in a job like that?

The plants would be owned by a Belgian company, fronted by American entrepreneurs who have been pushing this in every state. They are the ones responsible for opening the door to slaughter again by influencing 2 Senators and a Representative (who will profit from this move) and who removed the ban language from the Agricultural part of the Appropriations Bill that Obama signed to keep the country running. 

The product (horse meat) will end up in Europe. Since these horses have not been raised for food and have ingested unknowable amount of substances banned for human consumption, I guess we can call it Unwanted Horse Meat and try to pawn it off on the unsuspecting Europeans!
