killing horses

[dilf]

are you allowed to buy a horse and take it to the slaughter house and have it butchered for human consumption or is it illegal over here.
also what age is best, are foals tenderer

ps its only a question so dont get your knickers in a twist

[Catso]

I believe you could, yes. Providing you own it and don't contravene any welfare regulations. But, some (all?) abbatoirs might refuse to do it, as they wouldn't have the experience and/or equipment to do the job humanely.

I have had horsemeat that was butchered in the UK (a few years ago, now). Very nice it was, too.

Don't take it anywhere just put it in the grand national!!!!

I remember growing up, the local Butchers sold 'Horse meat for human consumption',

Buy a horse thats already ready to die of old age or a illness of somekind. You dont plan to kill a perfectly healthy horse do you ?

[dilf]

thanks for the answers folks , i have no intention of killing a horse peanut im english, i was asking to prove a point to a french friend.

but if i was id rather eat a healthy youngish one than a clapped out old scabby thing wouldn't you.

abxlutely difl - who wants to eat an old one. I'm not sure I could eat horse-meat, but really I can't see the deffference (morally) between horse or beef or mutton/lamb

[spinchimp]

There is no difference morally. Lets have a dog burger!
