About thirty or so years ago, I did a few months working as a truck driver delivering disinfectant, bleach etc, and one of my regular deliveries was to Pedigree Petfoods in Melton. I have never smelled anything so disgusting in my life as that factory - and I've been to Nottingham...

Oh believe me i know, Pedigree was one of my clients when i was working as a warehouse system manager, and when we implemented their pallet control system i had to go in and do a stock check. It was the worst thing i have ever had to do in my life. The smell from the part cooked warm meat dog meat on the lines was absolutely disgusting. 

 

I actually had to leave after 15 mins as i was gagging too much (incoming female gag comments.)

Been keeping an eye on how this develops, I hope they make their way to the UK too if the stories about the experience are remotely true.

Every trainer and owner on the link you have posted have said this is deplorable and has to change - which is correct.

 

Have you even read the article?

This is Gerry Harvey, of Harvey Norman fame. Owner of The Magic Millions horse auction house. Gerry Harvey is worth $2.2 billion dollars.

Explore the Wind was a horse bred by Gerry Harvey's stud farm. Born 11/11/2006, his last race is listed as being 2/9/2015 on the Sunshine Coast where he finished eight out of a field of eight. Explore the Wind was officially "retired" in 2017 aged only eleven years old. His last listed owners were K.J Walker, J.A Hammill, P. Bowden and C.P Raven. Walker is a current horse trainer.

Some time after his 2017 retirement, Explore the Wind was sent to Burns Pet Foods in NSW where he was slaughtered for dog meat.

All the money in the world, and not a single person was willing to guarantee him a long happy retirement.
