L’ho appena visto al telegiornale. È una cosa che probabilmente passerà? Ha il sostegno di qualche grande partito? Mi sembra un intervento eccessivo del governo e l’introduzione forzata di tabù alimentari americani e britannici, soprattutto in un paese come l’Italia dove la carne di cavallo è una parte così forte della cultura alimentare regionale, io sono svedese e io stesso ho gustato molta carne di cavallo a Cagliari e Alghero. Sembra anche che si tratterebbe di una massiccia violazione della libera circolazione dei prodotti alimentari nell’UE.

Is the bill to ban horse meat likely to pass?

Rotfl, no way, we aren’t fucking americans.
I like horse meat too, even if I eat it occasionally.
As for the bill, it has a long way before it reaches the final voting stage, so there is no need to worry right now. About the odds of passing, IMO it’s somewhat unlikely because many (small) local cities often have events featuring horse meat. It would force them to shut them down.
Michela Brambilla is the Italian one-woman version of PETA.
She just comes up with some BS idea to keep the focus on her (and on her activities), but there’s just no way the Government is going to even entertain the idea of proposing such a law.
Much less a right-wing one that has been using Italian food as a strong propaganda point (it being recognized as UNESCO Cultural Heritage of Humanity) and that, of course, can’t afford to alienate the votes of the whole meat industry.
I really hope not since I love horse meat
Sono Irlandese. Ho mangiato bistecca equina venti anni fa a Verona. Mi faceva ricordare carne di cervo. Buono e particolare. Sarebbe una tragedia di finire questo aspetto della cultura italiana.
I hope not cause horse meat is great and the ban would destroy a good slice of the eastern Sicily economy
No way. It may even be against EU laws on constitutionality and fair competition.
Spero non passi, ma se dovesse succedere la troveremo di sottobanco, come facevamo con lo zimino e come facciamo con il casu marzu. E tanti saluti a Michela.
Does it look likely to you that a far right government would do this? Acting like people who care about the poor little horse or whatever, going against big, lobbying industries, alienate their audience who is all about the exact opposite of this?
They’re in bed with the meat industry, your horse meat is here to stay.
0.00000000000000001% of a mind of one guy (in this case a girl) think about something. The news system “the left wants to ……..”. This is just a shitty bill made by a woman who thinks all animals should be treated as pet
It’s deeply hypocritical. Why horses specifically? “They’re cute” isn’t a valid reason. I hope it doesn’t pass.
People really have blinders on when it comes to stuff like this. “Oh, poor horses!”, they say while eating a hamburger.
I really hope not, it would wreck the economy.
