I hereby declare that I will not eat my horse
E.U Stupidity is reaching unprecedented levels ......
HORSE owners must sign a pledge not to eat their pets — or face up to two years in jail, a barmy new EU rule says.
Brits will be saddled with the legislation even though it is aimed at continentals who munch two million of the creatures every year.
Critics blasted the law yesterday. 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.
“Measures to stop the trade in horse flesh may be a good thing.
“But any common sense in Brussels is drowned by the sheer weight of ludicrous suggestions.
All British horses will be treated as though they are headed for the dinner plate unless the owner declares otherwise.
Anyone who refuses to sign will face prison or an unlimited fine.
Furious stable owner Kate Gillanders, of Kinross, Perthshire, said yesterday: “We don’t see our horses as cattle.
“The thought of them being eaten is utterly repulsive. Brussels is poking its nose in where it should not be. The EU knows nothing about me and cares even less.
“This nonsense is somebody else’s obsession.”
The crackdown is the brainchild of EU Agriculture Commissioner Mariann Fischer Boel — who last year scrapped a rule banning curvy bananas.

What do you call horse meat? Its not beef, not mutton, not pork then what is the term used for it?
Why Brit always stand-alone in their own territory? and UK follows US policies and sometime guide US secretly....
Got to agree with you - Partially :0
Britain is in Europe, but should we be within the E.U.. I personaly think not..
As far as the USA is concerned, we are two countries seperated by a common language. We use each other as and when required ..
i suspect foal play......us English are always getting saddled with rules.
the mane points of this story are ride-iculous
MR PAUL, The UK isn't really "in Europe", neither geographically, nor politically....
You just signed an agreement, never intending to be integrated.... Euro?? Schengen?? everything else...
I'd suggest the ultimate... UK as a US state. You fit better together.
There may be a knackers yard, but I don't think it would be in Blighty :)

I think you have me confused with someone who gives a sh1t.
All in favor? NEIGH!
Mr Paul. I am not referring to the movie, but the original text from which the movie may have been inspired.

On a serious note- I thought knackers are very much present in England.
Refer to Animal Farm by George Orwell. Isn't the story set in an English countryside? The farm is owned by one Mr. Jones. And the horses Boxer & Clover are always afraid of being sent to the knackers.
britexpat...Not your horse....nor your cow....or the pig

Actually, the basic idea is to stop dangerous vets’ drugs entering humans’ diets.
What next? I could understand if it was linked to a disease.
