horses and cows are both nice peaceful animals. i feel sorry for both of them. :(

I only eat turkey, chicken, and fish.

Let's stop eating cows and horses.

I'm a little shocked that people have accepted this so lightly. Seems they can sell us anything... tell us it's one thing when it's actually another... fill food with horsemeat when it's advertised as beef. What next? It says tuna, but it's actually dolphin... but at least it's funny.

[lostalex]

Why do Europeans like eating horses so much? I don't get it.

In America the horse is considered a working animal. And people make connections with them, the idea of eating horse meat is like eating a dog in America.

But I guess Europeans think eating alligator or raccoon meat is gross. Must be a cultural difference.

personally I only eat birds and fish. I don't eat anything with 4 legs. I appreciate land animals. I only eat animals from the sky or from the sea. i don't like to eat animals that walk on land.

given to old horses before they enter the Food Factory

"Horses treated with 'bute' are not allowed
to enter the food chain" - This is french selling to UK and Eire

Bute is not for Humans
it was a tongue in cheek remark, I actually think the whole thing is a disgrace, my brother is a farmer in Ireland and the hoops he has to jump to courtesy of Brussels simply to rear beef cows is ridiculous. There is a tremendous amount of red tape, every calf has an ear tag and a number and is traced from the day it is born, if a calf is born dead then an even more ridiculous amount of red tape has to be waded though, so I as a consumer would like to know where exactly the system is breaking down, and where Brussels who are telling us what shape vegetables we can eat back off and let the companies put whatever **** they like into our food. Its no problem to eat horse meat as long as you know you are eating it, what other hidden gems are we eating with no knowledge?

'FSAI believe the horsemeat was introduced in blocks of frozen burger filler product imported from Poland.'

That is old news it was in the link from this afternoon arista.

the meat is not halal either as it also contains pig..
'The initial scare prompted food distributor 3663 to carry out its own tests because it feared five of its halal products, which it provides to prisons intended for Muslim inmates, might have contained horsemeat. But the tests found pig DNA traces - the eating of pork is banned under Islamic law'

I'm sure 3663 supply school dinners too... :eek:

[Claymores]

100% meat sounds good - when you eat a sausage it probably contains 23% meat which they bleach off the bones of the dead animal as a last resort, cows/pigs lips, ears, testicles, anything else they can mash-up.........then filled up with a mixture of oatmeal and whateva.

Why are people being so precious about horses? Do the care the same about cows or pigs being culled into our food chain?

If you feel it is morally wrong to eat an animal then go vegitarian/vegan. Do not pick and choose between species.

No it means 100% horse with fillers and such.... as in 0% beef, it's the chemicals that the horses contain that are seriously dangerous to us not the actual horsemeat.

Seriously, it puts the whole EU vote into a different perspective doesn't it? What other industries are various organized crime units manipulating in the EU?

''The UK's horsemeat scandal was in "large part" the result of a switch from UK to foreign meat suppliers in 2012 caused by an abrupt change in European regulation that the government failed to contest, according to the expert who led the Food Standards Agency's (FSA) surveillance programme for a decade.

The change meant that "desinewed meat" (DSM), a fine mince rubbed under pressure from carcasses, could no longer be called meat on packaging. DSM produced in the UK was the main ingredient in most value-range burgers, sausages, pies and kebabs and the change meant that thousands of tonnes of meat had to be sourced from elsewhere and at low cost.''
