PETA Drops a Load When London Restaurant Adds Horse Meat to the Menu

The BBC and all the British newspaper are covering a developing controversy in England over not just horse slaughter, but also the consumption of horse meat.

When London celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay was featured on the British TV show "The F Word" this week extolling the sublime pleasures of eating horse meat, protesters from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) went to work. Not only did they protest outside his toney Claridge's Hotel restaurant, they backed up a dump truck and deposited a load of horse manure in the busy street, blocking the entrance.
