I drove by that place many times when visiting there. Strangely enough a lot of the place has high fences that you can't see through. |

I remember as a child being sent by my father to our local store to buy a block piece of horse-meat to feed our dogs. |

You probably wouldn't want to see behind the fence, some of the horses are in pretty bad shape, some die in the feed lot. To most North American people, horses are like dogs or cats, they are in the "pet" category, and most wouldn't even dream of eating their pets even if they starving. In SE Asia, dog & cat meat is another delicacy. I have attached an arial picture of the Fort Mcleod slaughter house from Google. Not a pretty site, hundreds of mostly live horses waiting to become a dead usable product. |

You must have some pretty awful meat available then. Skirt steak here is considered as 'cat's meat' and is usually bought for pets. |

Yanno, I walked by the Kodak Canada plant on Eglinton Avenue West in Toronto in the 1950's and 1960's and there was some pretty high fences surrounding Kodak. What does that tell ya? Diddly squat other than Kodak had some pretty high fences surrounding its plant. As did the stockyards that housed the cattle and hogs for the Swifts and Canada Packers slaughter houses just north of the Junction area of Toronto. What does that tell ya? Diddly squat except that Swifts and Canada Packers had high fences around their properties in the 1950's and 1960's. I have spent the day staining 90 feet of high fence that surrounds my property. What does that tell ya? Diddly squat except that I have a high fence around my house. Just because there are high fences surrounding a property doesn't necessary mean that there is something untoward or something that needs hiding going on behind those fences. |

I found this item interesting re the New Democrat Agriculture Critic introducing a bill (Private Members Bill (C-544) that would shut down the slaughtering of horses for human consumption in Canada. According to Atamanenko, at least fifty per cent of the horses being slaughtered in Canada are imported from the US where horse slaughter has been banned. The meat is then sold to markets in Europe. There are no regulations in the US to prevent horse owners from administering banned substances because horses are not regarded or treated as food-producing animals. “The fact is that drugs which are prohibited for use during the life of any animals destined for the human food supply are routinely being administered to horses,” said Atamanenko. “It is irresponsible for Canada to allow the sale of meat from horses as a food item when they have never been raised in accordance with the food safety practices required for all other animals.” http://tuesdayshorse.wordpress.com/2010/06/17/atamanenko-moves-to-ban-horse-meat-for-human-consumption-in-canada/ Since I spent many years around my step father's riding stable, and while they were working horses taking people out on trail rides, there is no way I could think of taking a bite out of Sam or Suzy at some point in time. oooh 02 Take care, Pat |

I take it that Kodak Canada does something more than just make photographic films? |

Nope, Kodak Canada only made cameras and photographic films. Precisely why I mentioned them as an example - nothing untoward or suspicious going on behind those high fences at the Kodak Canada site when it existed. The mere fact that they surrounded their plant and offices with a high fence meant absolutely nothing more than Kodak Canada chose to have a high fence around the perimeter of their property. |

It is understandable that Kodak puts up high fences, they have technology behind there, but what would a horse slaughtering facility have that they don't want other people to know about? Just wondering? Edited by Darcie, Jul 19 2010, 03:16 AM.
