not at all.......you see, Europe is the only place where horsemeat is still consumed on dinnertables. i have no quarrel with that practice....it's a custom and i am not bashing the people....i'm terribly concerned with our government allowing the horses to be captured and slaughtered. granted, if there wasn't a market for the meat, they wouldn't be slaughtered here. i want the horses to be able to live as they have for years and years.......free. pat
