definition for: #hr1942

HR1942 is a bill in this session of Congress, pending in committee. 210 members of Congress agree our uninspected, unregulated and FDA illegal horsemeat trade endangers the food supply. Horses as companion animals receive extra label and off label drugs - NOT approved for food animals. In fact, racehorses who receive medications daily frequently end up in the slaughter pipeline and can become human food within days of their last race. Lifetime of medications for performance does NOT make for good food. Note : Kentucky Derby winner "Ferdinand" when at end of his career was slaughtered in Japan - NOT SAFE FOOD.
