True. Tho apparently bute residue makes the meat very unsafe for the felines.

About once a month, we would get beef and believe me I would cut myself some nice cuts to put on a portable grill.

...rollin my eyes...shakin my head....
Ya know...
who really gives a **** if there were horses here...if they're feral or wild.

SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR of YOUR money goes to "manage" a herd of horses that receive virtually no care.
And please, don't try and tell me the "no care" they receive (I'm sure there is some) amounts to $60,000,000.00.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustang_(horse)
30,000 in holding centers, some 33,000 roaming free, but 27,000 is considered to be a "manageable number".

Sounds to me like about 36,000 need to be made into horseburgers, at least.

****!!! Sixty million bucks...you gotta be ****in kiddin me...
..and I didn't assume anything. I know full ****ing well there is a god damned politically correct program censoring my ****ing speech so it rests well on your tender ****ing ears. *******.

Prior to the 80's a lot of public schools fed hamburgers that were half horse and half beef.

in an interesting twist the existence of a slaughter trade has created a new market for horses.

There are groups that collect small amounts of money from all their member (2 bucks weekly from 5000 members) then use the money to purchase horses in 'kill pens'. The funny thing is, even if the horse wasnt going to be put in the kill pen, they put them all in there anyway now, inflate their prices and sell them to these rescue agencies because they know they can.
