PHUCK POLAND!

"Each year, around 30,000 horses are exported from Central and Eastern Europe for slaughter in Italy, France and Belgium in what can fairly be described as one of the cruellest and least regulated aspects of Europe’s live animal trade. Poland is the biggest exporter of live horses for slaughter in Europe. Ten years ago there were one million horses in Poland but that number has now been reduced to 500,000."

europe doesn't quite view horses like we do, with certain breeds existing solely as a source of food..much like some of our breeds of cattle over here. i think it's gross. but no doubt they disagree.
