Francesca, sometimes you can clearly see rendering trailers full of horses going to slaughter, either in a town or on an interstate. It's the one with the raggedy, sickly horses...
Because there is no chain of custody, all US hose meat is considered tainted and toxic. There is no way to fix this unless the government creates a chain of custody model and horse farmers start raising horses for the table from birth. They would then be tagged like cattle, have a chain of custody and be treated like cattle is treated.
The inspector part comes in at the end. There is no beginning right now for US horse meat.
