It's been on the news for over a week.

There's always been horses slaughtered for meat. Since the HSUS and PETA shut down the last horse slaughterhouse, there's been more illegil butchering going on, and now the stolen horse butchering is a bit higher also.

I wasn't aware it was illegil to buy/sell horse meat, I though you could, as long as it's from a proper facility. Anyways, it's deplorable that people will go butcher someone else's horse that way.
