INTRODUCTION

On September 27, 2012, M. Wells Dinette opened their doors to the public at the premises of MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) PS1.

The restaurant owners will reportedly serve horse meat — raw horse meat. M. Wells has a history of serving horse meat; they sold it in a grilled sandwich combo at an outdoor festival in May of this year.

The Int’l Fund for Horses are holding a “Horse Meat is Ugly” event in Times Square in the next two weeks.

WHY PROTEST

The selling of horse meat for human consumption is alarming for a number of reasons.

The top two of these in our view are:

1. the horrific cruelty and suffering that goes into producing horse meat that innocent horses endure on the way to and during slaughter

2. horses are not traditional food animals and administered a laundry list of dangerously toxic drugs that eliminates their meat from entering the human food chain.

THEIR RESPONSE

MoMA PS1 and M. Wells have both appeared to be either non-committal or evasive in their responses to calls from media and the public, except in the instances when they say that reporters have gotten it wrong. They do not state unequivocally that they never intended, and do not intend, to sell horse meat for public consumption in the M. Wells diner located at the MoMA PS1 location.

  1. I hope these idiots get prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if convicted in this crap. Horse meat is not for human consumption to begin with and should be banned world wide. I hope anyone that ever ingests it, dies from the medications, vaccinations, pesticides, wormers, and anything else that give to our pets. MAY YOU ROT IN HELL!!. This is disgusting.

  9. My name is Kay Riviello, Co-Founder of the NY Animal Rights Alliance America. We have a rally protest set for October 27, 2012, Saturday from 2-6pm. We will NOT be cancelling this rally even if M. Wells Diner makes a public apology and recants their intentions of selling horse meat AND foie gras. We will set the momentum up to make our voices be heard in Albany so that a state law can be passed that horse meat is never slaughtered here, transported through the state nor consumed. Please call with any questions 845 856 7366.
