The queen's daughter, a former British Olympic equestrian
competitor, says creating a market for horse meat may improve
the welfare of horses because owners would take better care of
them if they had more value at the end of their lives.
The princess spoke Thursday at a conference on horse welfare.
Other countries, notably France, value horse meat but Britain
has no strong tradition of eating it.
Anne said she raised the question "because I think it needs a
debate."
Anne is one of the country's top officials at the International
Olympic Committee and rarely makes headlines with her opinions.
