A champion racehorse was killed and served to unwitting diners at a council-run soup kitchen, sparking public outrage. The four-year-old racehorse, named Smart Latch, had retired from the track with an injury. Instead of being donated to a riding club as the owner said he intended, she ended up being served at a soup kitchen in southern Turkey. The kavurma served at the soup kitchen was examined on February 4, and investigators realised that it was indeed made of horse meat. They had to destroy 213 kilogrammes of kavurma produced at the soup kitchen for that day and the day before.
