It looks satircal, but that is to get past the NWO censors.
Hmm ... this morning, my wife pointed out a full page ad in the SD
Fishwrap trying to build a case for a bill before Congress to make it
illegal to slaughter horses for their meat. I figured it was PETA trying
to get the nose of the camel under the tent ("if we can protect horsies
than we can protect cute little bunnies, and eventually, escargot"). It
never occurred to me that it might be a big put on.
Isn't horse meat common in brands of dog food?

In fact selling horse meat for human consumption is now illegal in
California - by order of the electorate. It was a successful ballot
proposition about six or seven years ago. I remember the elite
horse-riding sub-electorate pushing this law as a good thing for the
noble horsies. "Cows are for eating, horses are for riding!".
