Horse meat

Not long ago I remember reading and hearing that the United States was going to make selling horse meat for human consumption legal. If I recall correctly, that did pass. I am reminded of that story today because of an article that I saw on the Internet about some young horses that were headed for a slaughterhouse, meant to be used for human consumption in Mexico. The article said that the horses came from a ranch in Oregon and were rescued. The article also says that the horses were in bad physical condition when they were rescued. I wish that there was some way to find the ranch it came from and legally penalize the owners for animal cruelty and neglect. To be perfectly honest, just the thought of eating horse meat is repulsive to me. I hope I never do eat it.
