Our study showed that 18 thoroughbred race horses were given bute and sent to slaughter for human consumption. Just based upon this number of horses 9,000 pounds of contaminated horse meat was sent overseas for people to eat. Horses are NOT raised for food in the United States and these horses should not be slaughtered for food by Mexico and Canada. This is a HUGE gap in food safety and a public health risk.

The hypersensitivity syndromes and the serum sickness-like illnesses caused by bute are NOT dose-related. Also, bute causes cancer and no one knows what amount of bute causes cancer. This is why the drug is banned and this is why the Food and Drug Administration says there are NO SAFE LEVELS of the drug.
