It was conducted by Tierschutzbund Zürich and the Animal Welfare Foundation (TSB/ AWF), both partners of GAIA. “Once more, we have proof that the path taken by horse meat winding up on the tables of Belgian consumers is nothing but a succession of abuse, neglect and fraud,” commented the President of GAIA, Michel Vandenbosch. “We’ve had enough! It’s about time that all supermarkets stop selling horse meat, especially from (Latin) America.”
