The Humane Society of the United States Praises Museum Restaurant’s Decision to Keep Horsemeat off the Menu

October 5, 2012

Brian Shapiro, New York state director for The Humane Society of the United States, issued the following statement in response to news that the owners of M. Wells Dinette will not feature horsemeat on the menu at their restaurant in the Museum of Modern Art’s PS1 gallery:

“Eighty percent of Americans oppose horse slaughter – they made their voices heard and the museum listened. The Humane Society of the United States applauds the M. Wells Dinette and MoMA PS1 for making the right decision in response to public concern about the cruel and inhumane horse slaughter industry and the potential health risks associated with consuming horsemeat. Americans regard horses as beloved companions, not dinner, and we’re glad that tradition will be upheld at one of New York’s premiere cultural hubs.”
