A few months after several poisonings due to the presence of a parasite, trichinosis, in horse meat, report in a market where two butchers face each other and see the fall of the clientele at the stand of horse butchery. Commentary on butcher stall images alternating with interviews of a poet butcher horse and his colleague opposite.
France is one of the largest consumers of horse meat. And yet the number of horse butchers has fallen sharply over the past thirty years. The other possible outlets are very thin: no or few by-products possible and the disappearance of milkhorses with the appearance of tractors. This is why the revival of meat for butchers is being studied at the experimental centre of Pompadour in Chamberet in Corèze. Commentary on images illustrating horse slaughter and breeding alternating with the interview of Mr.JUSSIAU who explains his mission.
