UK starts shooting horses for food during blizzard
Special armed units have been dispatched to shoot horses in the UK to bolster the country’s emergency food stocks as the country is paralysed by one of the severest blizzards in decades.
The units, drawn mostly from army reserve volunteers, were given orders on Monday to begin shooting horses across the worst affected parts of the country. Up to 10,000 horses could be slaughtered for food.
A spokesman for the armed units said other special teams would distribute the horsemeat to the elderly living at home and in care centres.
Asked for his own thoughts of eating horsemeat, the spokesman, who asked not to be named said: “I’m quite partial to it myself. Its a distinctive flavour and, well, to be honest, it is not every day that you get to be able to indulge in eating horsemeat.
“Its very wholesome and the flavour is brought out exceptionally well with the right kinds of mustard.”
