Questions have been asked about what happens to the meat from slaughtered animals. We understand it goes to France. Can Mr. Blake tell me the position on former racehorses, which I understand are not suitable for human consumption? Can he state categorically that no meat from horses slaughtered at the plant and formerly in the horse racing industry was exported to the European market?
