Greetings loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader was taking a quick break and reading up on ESPN about things in the world of sports when I saw this article. Now, your Maximum Leader might like horse racing a little more than the average person (I generally go to two horse races a year and watch the three Triple Crown races.) Your Maximum Leader also has a college friend who group up on a horse farm, and he tries to visit it once and a while. So reading this article upset him a little. Your Maximum Leader has had horsemeat once in Europe, and didn’t find it unappetizing. But, he is now put out after reading what has happened to the great racehorse Ferdinand. Perhaps your Maximum Leader is engaging in a little cognative dissidence in that he does not object to horsemeat, but objects to particular horses being eaten. All the same, great racehorses shouldn’t be eaten.

Carry on.
