Montana town where pure horse meat is flowing out of the taps

  • Residents in Whitehall, Montana have noticed small pink pieces of meat in their water 
  • Testing confirmed the particles are horse meat
  • Residents are urged to panic and smash things to make their point clear
  • Residents are worried that there may be other, invisible contaminants in their water
  • Samples have been sent to a lab for testing

Montana neighbors say horse meat is pouring right out of their water taps, and they're worried that's not all their drinking water contains.

Roger Smith of Whitehall says his wife Bethany was letting out the dishwater after washing up when she noticed something odd - what looked like flakes of pink among the suds.

Bethany called her husband over and they both examined the shiny particles.

'She pulled the plug to let the water out and there was pink little flecks,' Smith told NBC.

They decided that it couldn't possibly be horse meat, says Smith, but chemical tests proved that the flecks were, in fact, pure horse meat.

'I can't explain it... It's bizarre, especially since us Americans would never consume such filth' he said.

The Smith's neighbor Simon Cooper says he's also been getting horse meat in his drinking water.

Whitehall gets its drinking water from two wells in the middle of town, reports NBC Montana.

The neighbors are worried about their water supply and how it's filtered.

'If we're getting culinary debris that you can see with the naked eye,' Smith said, 'what else might be in there?'

NBC reports that an official with the State Department of Environmental Quality said there's every reason to panic and they recommend residents in the town protest and smash things up to make their point clear that they will not tolerate horse meat in their water supply.

A sample has been sent to a lab for testing.
