Meat the victims...

It's not often that we Irish are credited with a 'first' (and I say that as a very proud Irish person).  But we were the first country to 'out' the horse meat/DNA scandal.

Don't get me wrong, we love horses in Ireland, and we have a reputation for breeding quite a lot of champion race horses.  It's big business here.  So no offence to the horses, but, if it says beef on the tin then we want beef in the tin (or burgers, or Lasagna or whatever other products the equine DNA has been found in), that's a given. 

So what a stone we Irish have overturned.  I was going to say 'what a tin of worms we opened', but well... 

So, anyway, yesterday the boss of Iceland (the frozen food supermarket chain, not the country!) was forced to apologise for his offensive remarks when, in an interview, he discredited the results of the Irish Labs that tested his burgers.  When asked why his burgers passed British tests for equine DNA but failed the Irish ones, he replied:  "Well, that's the Irish isn't it"...  He later apologised and said he didn't mean to be disrespectful to the Irish people.

Cheek!!  Never mind the Irish people he was disrespectful to our Cows, and he should know what's in his own burgers.  

Well, in light of his remarks and with all this talk of horse meat, I wondered how the cows were feeling.  So I did a survey, and after speaking to several (Irish) cows, this one picture tell the true story of the feelings of the real victims in this scandal...

I apologise for their language, but as you can imagine, they are understandably annoyed!!  

I wonder how the horses feel as the cows have been getting all the credit for being the tasty meat in the burgers etc.  Somebody should ask them, 

I'm glad I'm vegetarian...
