Nearly fell off my chair laughing!
Back to the original. (well sort of...)
I thought croquettes are potato...
In UK quite a lot of horses that are shot are taken by the hunt to feed the hounds, its an easy way for owners to dispose of the carcass fairly cheaply, the hunt will also take "fallen stock"- animals which are badly injured and need to be shot they will come and shoot them.
I realy dont have a problem with people eating horses like any other animal as long as they are looked after well and treated kindly being slaughtered, what I have a problem with is live exports to europe where animals (of any sort) are transported for 8+ hours stuffed in cramped lorries just to be taken to slaughter when they could easily be killed here and the meat transported.
