I attended a horse sale a year ago and the buyer with the most money in his pocket was buying for a foreign meat processor. They buy the horses no one wants, ship them all the way across country and load them on to "butcher" ships to be processed into meat as they cross the ocean.

It hasn't stopped the processing of horse meat. It's made the end of life for these animals far worse than it had to be.
