HORSEFLESH AS ANIMAL FOOD
Sir, —It is a pity that “Alsatian Breed” did not take the trouble to verify his facts before making the possibly well meant but entirely misleading statements he did in a letter to “The Press.” First, glanders is unknown in New Zealand, and second, no skin disease such as mange, ringworm, or scabies, which he mentions, can possibly be transmitted by eating the flesh. Since meat rationing came in I, and many others, have fed our dogs and cats most satisfactorily on horseflesh, thereby saving • meat coupons which can be put to a much better use.—Yours, etc.. DOG LOVER. June 9, 1947.
