Wow! The UK scandal has legs - UK, France, Poland and now Romania, Italy and Sweden. Here are several good articles that Jo-Claire, RT, and yours truly dug out. I was in the car this morning and our local CBS radio station in Chicago, WBBM, ran the story during their headline news they run every � hour. I heard it on two newscasts so I suspect it was on others, as well. Also, of note, is a friend that receives a health newsletter from Dr. Mercola called me to say he had an article [Avoid This Meat Like the Plague] on the scandal so there is another audience that was reached that may not be aware of horse slaughter.

 

I wonder if our burgers would get a clean bill of health.... Have you also noticed the deafening silence from our meat industry and the darkside? I'll bet they are scrambling to do damage control.

And finally, from James McWilliams, this is not about the scandal but I thought was a well written article and food for thought about slaughter in general.
