Pike Place Market in Seattle opening another Horse meat store.



Quote:
For no less than 30,000 years, humans have hunted, slaughtered, and dined on the rich, stringy meat of horses. Some of the oldest cave paintings ever discovered, in modern-day France’s Chauvet Cave, depict the ritual hunting of horses for sustenance; archeological excavations in the same area have uncovered hundreds of thousands of equine remains in burial pits. Historians estimate that by around 4500 BC, the animals had been domesticated and valued not only for their flesh, but as companions and a method of transportation. This didn’t stop people from continuing to eat them.

Looks like the first slaughterhouse to resume the horsemeat trade for human consumption, will be in Iowa. Since 2005 the feds refused to fund inspection, effectively shutting it down. But the fall of 2014 must-pass federal spending bill quietly dropped that ban.
EAT ALL THE HORSES!!
