HORSE MEAT SAUSAGE FIRM PUT OUT TO PASTURE
BOGOTA, Columbia (Wireless Flash) An animal rights group has foiled an illegal horse meat sausage-making ring in Bogota, Columbia. The World Society for the Protection of Animals rescued more than 20 horses including a pregnant mare that were slated to be turned into horse meat sausage links. A spokeswoman for the group says the illegal slaughter house was killing as many as 100 horses each night and shipping the ground-up flesh as beef sausages. The horses are now recovering with veterinarians, but its not known where or under which label the horse meat sausages were being sold.
