butcher in Glasgow now sells horsemeat ,
what? For dog meat? please tell me we haven't started eating horses in this country.
Claire... is your mare chipped and freeemarked? if so I would put up notices to that effect.
you poor thing ... absolutely my worst nightmare.
Yup, people buying it. Cheaper alternative to beef. I'm afraid this takes off with the current penny pinching times.
Although my horses are marked and microchipped and I do have a sign saying so, I haven't put it up for fear it actually attracts attention to them. I also really have to question how effective either a freezemark or microchip is other than identifying them if found. But if they are being stolen and taken to an abattoir who asks no questions. So scary.
