The Seattle Times reports today that Snohomish County has outlawed the slaughter of horses (for human consumption) within its borders.
Sheesh, it's bad enough that the county allows "Kitchen Nightmares" to tape a restaurant makeover show in downtown Everett. Now, they're going to strangle their own hungry citizens by reducing the supply of red meat?
Besides, didn't we just write a post about this topic, less than three weeks ago?
Look, it's an uncomfortable topic. But so is eating chickens, so is rabbit fricassé so is putting cows through the grinder. Bad enough we inject our farm animals with so much dope they barely qualify as food even for the French (who, as we know, will eat almost anything). But shipping Dobbin to Canada at the end of his days makes no sense at all. Horse meat is lean and delicious; it deserves a place on Snohomish County's dinner plate.
