I imagine the same thing is going on in the UK.
So far, this issue has been exposed for greyhounds, not horses.
I'm not sure I can get too excited about it, unfortunately - and if dog-lovers cannot be stirred, I see no hope for horses.

We have a a lot of wild horses here, but a far worse camel infestation in Australia.
If we used them for meat, then more horses would have a chance.

I really didn't intend to suggest they be set free - we have annual culling of wild horses here. It's the absolute cruelty to these animals that have never been treated harshly that is so outrageous.
