This viewpoint angered and upset me this morning which is why I chose to use the power of a blogger to speak out. It concerns what happens to the bodies of our much loved Race Horses when they die.
I’ve never really given it much thought. Mainly because I’ve not liked to. The thought of my beloved Shishkin going up in flames – I can’t cope with although I do believe there are some Cemetaries for Race Horses somewhere. I do realise though that bodies of Race Horses do have to be cremated but surely they do deserve respect?
This statement said that a Certain Royal said that they have no problem at all with Horse Meat – being sold on as food. Any horse meat as I understood it. Now I can’t even – in my own mind – even make excuses for eating Horse Meat during the War. Horses as I understood it played their own part during the way and did win medals.
A Royal though to make that Statement? Who is supposedly a lover of animals? Maybe sometimes it’s better to keep your opinions to yourself and this might have been one of those?
