Bad Stable Manners: Dobbin's Disgust as He Discovers the Unpalatable Truth! February 2013: In a satirical twist on the public health scandal that shook Great Britain, this print captures the moment of realization for Dobbin, the horse, as he takes a bite of his feed only to discover it is not the oats he had expected, but rather an unwelcome human alternative. The horsemeat scandal, which rocked the nation, saw an outcry over the discovery of horsemeat in various processed food products, leading to a government investigation and widespread concern over food safety and labelling. This humorous and lighthearted image, reminiscent of historical depictions of horses and their stable habits, offers a silly and fun take on the situation. The reversal of roles, with the horse as the consumer and the human as the unwitting supplier, adds a layer of irony to the situation. The horse industry, which has a long and complex history, was also affected by the scandal, with concerns over the use of phenylbutazone, or "bute," in horsemeat production. As we laugh at Dobbin's expression of disgust, it's important to remember the seriousness of the situation and the importance of transparency and accountability in the food industry. This print serves as a reminder of the unexpected twists and turns that can arise in our food chain, and the importance of being informed about what we consume.
