[CHICKENS-101] Re: Eating Non-Traditional Meats

 

The topic of horse slaughter is not a good one in groups like this, in my humble opinion. It's just like trying to get people to agree on religion or politics. Ain't gonna happen! But here's a good article that was sent to me that I thought I'd share with y'all. It reflects my feeling on this topic and may shed some light to some who are mis-informed on this. http://elainenashstwigs.blogspot.com/
