Hey cunt, that’s a Perth delicacy
I can understand mouse fur and metal shavings as a common factory accident, but how did them horses get mixed into it?
One of the horse employees fell into the machine
The headline seems to suggest horse meat is bad for health, which afaik is not true. It’s illegal many places and taboo, but not for health reasons.
If I buy ground beef and there’s horse in it, what the actual fuck? Hell, if I buy ground pork and there’s beef in it, what the actual fuck? Also horse meat is not something tjat just whoopsies its way into something, that’s a super deliberate case of fraud.
Yeah, what if I eat horse twice and develop an allergy
The big issue is traceability and control. How is unvetted meat making its way into the market? What else does it tell us about the state of the meat market? There are meant to be controls that protect consumers.
A more minor related consideration is what these horses are. Could it include sports horses, who are given a cocktail of drugs unfit for human consumption?
In addition, plenty of consumers specifically avoid horse – and the UK scandal 15 years ago also included pork, which many cultures and religions specially shun.
Excellent points. Makes me think of the old hair in the soup hangup, which had less to do with the hair itself (gross enough) and more about what else is getting into the soup? (disgusting).
I’m wondering how on earth moose fur, of all things, got in there? Are moose farmed for meat elsewhere in the world?
Horse shocks me less - beyond being culturally offputting to some, it’s no less morally acceptable or unacceptable to eat a horse than a cow.
Moose sausage is delicious
A Møøse once bit my sister.
A mouse can sneak into an industrial grinder. Not likely, but possible. A horse, less so. And the customers are not paying for horse meat, not is the chance of there being horse meat being disclosed. Not even a teeny-tiny little bit of morality or health or anything matters when it comes to the practice of eating a meat that was never supposed to be in there in the first place.
Here’s an extreme example, to get the point across: You never asked to get pegged but your partner suddenly shoves a huge plastic dick up your ass without your consent. You say “hey, what the fuck?!” and they hit you with “it’s fine, plenty of people like it and you’re weird for being mad at me.”
Why are we so trained to immediately go to bat for companies that half the comments in here are like “horse meat’s not so bad, actually”?
Oh yeah those sneaky horses, can’t keep em out of the abatoir
Oh shoot, I misread. Less surprising then 🤦♀️
Oh, the “horse based lasagne” issue moved to Australia. No need to send it back, we already had our share.
Was wondering why my lasagna tasted different today. But hay, it was okay
It’s good roughage.
Mouse!? Moose are hunted, but not livestock so much. Australians eating noise fur makes sense
