They might be yummy.

I don't know, but people in Belgium don't seem to have the same problem we have with it.

Not the starving, lice ridden, tortured part of it - that's completely inexcusable.


But if well cared for, properly fed, then humanely processed -like every other livestock that is packaged in neat little stryofoam containers that none of us give a moments thought to when flung onto the grill...

jus' sayin - don't hate

It doesn't cost that much if you own the farm!

you can feed a horse for less then 300 a month

Why? You cant grow hay in the winter in NY and there is no discount for feed for farm owners

tell that to the feed man. How much do you think we pay for a bag of feed? How much do you think hay costs? Do you know how much a horses eats a day?
At the track with supplements it is around $27 a day. w/o supplements around $22. Hay prices have been through the roof. Last year in November in KY they were selling big bales of hay for $24 per.

The hay was @ 24 for the three wire at Belmont this winter. Right now at Finger Lakes the local feed stores are selling at 5.50 for first cutting. If your lucky and know the local farmers you can get it cheaper, or even attend a local auction. Either way it's much more expensive than in recent years. Last time i was at the farm there were @ 300 mouths to feed..Do the math...

Don't worry Freddy - those Cappuchino's are late developers.

A lot of the horses racing at Mountaineer now are supposedly being fed at a cost of $180-to-$200 a month. That figure includes alfalfa, timothy, straw, and feed.

key word supposedly. Plus at the track you can steal from your neighbors. harder to do at the farm.

That's what I've heard from trainers racing down there now.
