"One Man's Meat is another Man's Poison"

.

A barmy new EU rule says, that owners of horses and ponies, must sign a pledge not to eat their pets — or face up to two years in jail.

The Horse Identification Regulations, to come into force next month, are partly aimed at stopping harmful vets’ drugs entering humans’ diets.

British owners will be ‘saddled’ with the legislation even though it is aimed mainly at continentals who happily munch through two million of the creatures every year.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage said:

“I’d like to be a fly on the wall when the Queen and Princess Anne are asked to sign a form saying they’re not going to eat their horses“.

All British horses will be treated as though they are headed for the dinner plate unless the owner declares otherwise.

Furious stable owner Kate Gillanders, of Kinross, Perthshire, said yesterday: “The thought of them being eaten is utterly repulsive. Brussels is poking its nose in where it should not be.”

Albert Busker said "This sort of thing gets me angry and all wound up"

“We don’t see our horses as cattle. “The EU knows nothing about me and cares even less."

I wonder how long it will be before they extend this to include other pets like dogs?

And what about all those people who keep snails?......or frogs?

Lets finish with a smile.

Had a truly magnificent ass;

Not rounded and pink,

As some of you think !!!

It was grey…had long ears…and ate grass.
