Levels of Adrenalin and Cortisol in Horses
After extensive research on this issue, and also into all forms of slaughter, commercial and not. I found that there is a conspiracy going on with regard to the information available to consumers regarding the extremely high levels of Adrenaline and Cortisol in head-shot equine (and bovine) meat.
The Commercial Beef Lobby is funding Wallis and her cohorts and attempting to work with them to create a whole new market they can control in the U.S. This is why these people just don't go away, after being defeated by the public and public opinion time and again.
The evidence that every single head-shot horse is a "bad kill" with levels of Adrenaline and Cortisol being distributed throughout the flesh of the animal after the shot is found in the thousands of kill videos that are available on the internet. Hunters do not eat bad kills. Hunters do not shoot for the head of their prey. Reason being, the adrenaline of deer, elk, etc. is distributed in the same manner, except much less is produced by these smaller animals. Horses produce more adrenaline per pound than any other animal. They produce way, way more adrenaline than cattle.
The Adrenaline and Cortisol issue is a HUGE one in commercially slaughtered beef, regulated by law and overseen by the USDA. That industry loses millions and likely billions of dollars a year due to "Dark Cutting" they call it, when a bad kill happens on the line and the meat is tested with the levels being higher than is allowed to be distributed to humans by law.
The evidence is always in the pulsing of the animal post kill (post shot.) The pulsing is not due to the heart pushing blood through the veins and arteries, it's due to the autonomic endocrine system distributing all of the adrenaline and cortisol because of the head trauma.
Nobody wants to talk about this. You cannot find documentation on the internet because the commercial beef lobby is so powerful and so large. This is a big problem in beef. It always has been and that industry is having a difficult time meeting the demand for beef without finding ways to allow more Adrenaline and Cortisol through to consumers. In fast food beef the levels are extremely high.
Adrenaline and Cortisol produced in other animals and ingested by humans causes Cancer and other disease. The proof of this can be found, but not the levels that exist in horse meat, which are far, far higher than that in beef. Far above the legal levels that have been established for beef.
Please consider discussing the fact that the Adrenaline and Cortisol found in all horse meat is at toxic levels and the meat itself is not fit for human consumption. Regardless of whether the horse has been administered drugs and inoculations that are harmful. These are naturally occurring hormones and steroids and cannot be avoided at all when horses are killed in a commercial setting.
It is virtually impossible to humanely slaughter a horse in a commercial setting.
The proponents of this issue know this, the Vets know this, the USDA knows this. This industry is extremely brazen to believe that Adrenaline and Cortisol distribution to consumers would not play a part in this debate.
Unfortunately, we cannot regulate humanity or the practical humane treatment of horses but appealing to people's moral values helps.
Thank you for your efforts in our cause.
