Comments on: Sixty-two starving horses from Nicaragua were brought to Costa Rica for human consumption, police say https://insidecostarica.com/2014/08/26/sixty-two-starving-horses-nicaragua-brought-costa-rica-human-consumption-police-say/ Costa Rica's Leading English Language News Source Tue, 28 Oct 2025 04:55:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.2 By: Ken Morrishttps://insidecostarica.com/2014/08/26/sixty-two-starving-horses-nicaragua-brought-costa-rica-human-consumption-police-say/#comment-9387 Ken Morris Wed, 27 Aug 2014 22:45:00 +0000 http://insidecostarica.com/?p=15995#comment-9387 That’s what I thought, namely that starving horses aren’t even worth much for human consumption. The strange thing though is that the authorities sound certain, which makes me think that they must know the buyer and then the overall supply chain. But if they know this, you’d think they would release this information and that would be the story. Maybe they don’t really know anything, though. There’s lots of misinformation in CR and this seems a possible instance.

I really wonder how they came up that idea. I’d imagine they would be worth far more in a few months after they’ve regained some weight and could be sold for riding. Horses for human consumption tend to be young horses that for whatever reason aren’t well suited for riding or work, i.e joint problems and the like. And as far as I know it’s not a common practice here in Costa Rica anyway.

It’s strange how stuff just dries out when water doesn’t fall out of the sky like it normally does.

Some of us might want to avoid those restaurants after all.

There is a chemical being sprayed about 12,000 ft for “other reasons”that seems to be making its way down to the ground where it dries out the roots of plants. Grasses are effected first then eventually trees. Costa Rica is not immune to this “weather modification”.
