The Tribune from the city that banned eating fat goose livers wrote:
The House voted on Thursday to ban the slaughter of horses for meat, a practice that lawmakers thought they already had ended.
Instead of banning it outright, Congress last year yanked the salaries and expenses of federal inspectors. But the Bush administration simply started charging plants for inspections, and the slaughter has continued.
The House vote was 263-146 to outlaw the killing of horses for human consumption.

Most of those dissenting votes were from horse hating Republicans! People who, after a hard day of saving stem cells in the name of Jesus, go home to consume great bloodied chunks of steaming equine flesh from the likes of the Black Beauty or Mr. Ed or.. um.. Trigger. And Silver. I bet they were behind killing that Kentucky Derby horse as well. So they could eat it.
Bastards.
good one
