US Horse Meat is Unsafe for Human Consumption
The other 70,000 to 80,000 will be able to stay in the market. As for the people employed by the slaughter industry: The truck drivers will drive for someone else (I see LOTS of trucks going down the road with “now hiring drivers" signs on them). The plant employees quit these places on a frequent basis anyway (it is a VERY high turnover industry), so they will get jobs wherever they normally would be employed. The plant owners are from Belgium (and rich), so I imagine they will go home or start up another business. The USDA inspectors will still work for the USDA. They will just go on to inspect other animal slaughter facilities. The REASON for slaughter is that people in Europe and Asia like to eat horses. That is it! They are entitled to do what their culture finds acceptable.
