Guess so.  To be honest, I didn't even remember who he was until I looked him up.  I wouldn't have even known about it if I'd have stayed away from FB on Sunday.

Look up Cesar Chavez Park, Phoenix, AZ on Google earth. Cesar Chavez High School next to it rivals some of the community colleges in the area.

If they were riding cattle would the charge be any different?   

It happens.  My grandmother had a cow she could ride.

Look!  That's her now.


Nothing better than a good jumping cow.

Didn't even phase me. Guess that's what happens when you spend 13 years in the southwest you know who Cesar Chavez is.

Didn't he make a salad dressing or something like that?

Oklahoma lawmakers and Gov. Mary Fallin might have thought that quick passage of the horse slaughter bill would bring the controversy to an end. Instead, they probably just guaranteed that the controversy will continue to drag on, perhaps for years.

http://www.tulsaworld.com/article.aspx/Adoption_of_horse_slaughter_measure_doesnt_resolve/20130407_211_G1_ULNSeg38012

Pending federal legislation would ban the slaughter of American horses for human consumption and prohibit transporting them across the U.S. border to Mexican and Canadian slaughterhouses.  The measure, called the Safeguard American Food Exports Act, is in part a response to reports that horse meat has been found in food products in Europe and wrongly identified as beef.

The reason Oklahoma leaders adopted a ban on horse slaughter for human consumption in Oklahoma, according to the report, was because it was found in what was supposed to be beef hamburgers in a couple of fast-food restaurants back in the early 1960s.

I don't have any issues with this, like they said many of the horses are in grim shape and if they are NOT slautered here they will go to another state for the slauter. Mary Fallin signed the bill.

How could you be so wrong? Do you actually ever try to research and learn anything before you post your thoughts?

It is illegal to do this in every other state.

Next time you want to post a thought, let it go.

Who cares what shape the horses are in?    If the slaughterhouse is willing to pay more than someone else to turn it into dog food/gellatin/glue/whatever than don't they deserve the ability to do it and turn a profit?

I don't see people up in arms trying to protect cows or pigs, but then again, I guess they aren't as cute.

Arnold from Green Acres would probably have disagreed.
