...it needs repeating apparently, and loudly.

Horses are NOT food!

As if it wasn't bad enough that the soulless Bush administration removed restrictions that protected wild horses and burros from slaughter, their USDA officials are moving to once again legalize the sale of horse meat in domestic markets. Yes, at the supermarket meat counter and in restaurants. And they want horses to be treated as livestock, with required inspections, tagging, etc.

If anyone proposed to solve the surplus stray dog problem by slaughtering the dogs and selling the meat to Asian buyers, the reaction would be instantaneous and absolute. Why then are Americans so silent on the subject of horse murder? Murder is what it is. I will not describe the sickening details, but if you saw it you would never, ever approve.

Please visit the USENTA web site and see the details of this issue. You can sign a petition there, it will cost you nothing to do that. If you are a little more moved, you could at least write an angry letter to your congresscretin. The Bush administration continues to move along with its own plans, with total and arrogant disregard for our opinions. We must say no, and we must do so now. Reversing these plans once they have been put into effect will be much more difficult than stopping them in advance.

I think we should solve the surplus Republican problem by slaughtering unwanted Republicans and feeding their corpses to the poor. Yes, I am deadly serious. It is time for the Soylent Green solution.
