Horse Meat Usda

Why horse slaughter / horse meat has become a political issue?
It seems that in recent years, a lot strange people (PETA, the Texas Oil T. Boone Pickens, and others) met to obtain, in principle, prohibits the slaughter of horses in the United States. Now they want go after the horse industry on the import of inferior meat, trying to ban the use of horses for food altogether. I eat horse meat occasionally. Horse sausage Quebec is one of my favorites. It was part of American culture. The USDA has horse meat to poor families during the Second World War. Meat horse is good, and is part of our history. More people should try. We eat other large animals like cows and buffaloes. Why horse meat suddenly became a political issue? What about this?
This is another ploy to get the sympathy vote. People are so used to mourn instead of working to get what they want. If it did not work with Mom and Dad really worked on his grandmother. Now they want the government behaves the same way. Let's feel sorry for the poor horses. Let's feel sorry for the poor animals to make coats Little Fluffy out. Let the tantrums and attacks that eats horse sausages and has fur, and sooner or later we will get what they ask you? I'll give them what they want, a naked Whoopin Butt @ ados.
