mr. chairman , i yield myself such time as i may consume .  mr. chairman , let me quickly answer my good friend , the gentleman from iowa ( mr. king )  by saying 2 things .  when ferdinand , the great horse champion , was sold for slaughter , he was marketed as `` eating an american champion. '' there is a distinction there .  number two , i would ask how many zebras , how many cows do we know the names of ?  we know the names of many horses , and the fact is horses are not raised in this nation for human consumption .
