Great horse manure crisis of 1894 might be a myth but in fact the crisis was very real

If you'd read my link you'd have discovered that "the average life expectancy for a working horse was only around 3 years. Horse carcasses therefore also had to be removed from the streets. The bodies were often left to putrefy so the corpses could be more easily sawn into pieces for removal."

Not so good for organic food production let alone human health .....
