Current law bars the sale of horse meat for human consumption unless clearly stamped, marked, and described as being for that purpose.
...
The soon to be law would prohibit the transporting, distributing, purchasing or possessing of horse meat for human consumption without such a stamp, mark or description.

So... now you can be arrested for buying horse meat because the seller didn't label it properly? THAT makes sense. Also, wouldn't it just be a hell of a lot easier, and much more effective in eliminating "horse poaching" to make it acceptable for legitimate slaughter plants to process horse meat?

gaah.
