HONG KONG, July 25 (Xinhua) -- Hong Kong had set up an animal waste composting plant and was ready to handle the horse-stable waste from the 2008 Olympic and Paralympic equestrian events here from August to September, said Hong Kong's environmental agency on Friday.
The plant can treat about 20 tons of such waste every day and turn it into useful organic compost suitable for landscaping, horticultural and agricultural uses, said the Environmental Protection Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government. The plant's composting technology ensures effective elimination of all harmful disease-producing bacteria and micro-organisms. It also contains and treats potentially odorous emissions, said the department. The total cost for the design and construction, including a two-year trial operation, was 37 million HK dollars (4.7 million U.S. dollars).
The department said that turning horse waste into useful compost is an important contribution to the equestrian events' environmental commitment.

I'm sure cleaning 20 tons of HORSE shit a day will help a lot!

[align=center]Man killed in Romania by drunken horse
14/ 10/ 2008[/align]
MOSCOW, October 14 (RIA Novosti) - Traffic police tested a horse for being over the alcohol limit after it went out of control and killed an elderly man in the southwestern Romanian county of Gorj, the Ananova news agency said on Tuesday.
Police made the unusual request after an 86-year-old-man died from injuries sustained when he was hit by a cart, which was being pulled by a horse that "looked out of control." Ion Iliuta, head of the local veterinary authority, said: "We never had such a request before. Maybe to see what kind of blood it is, yes, but to find out if the animal was drunk, never." The blood test came back positive.
The 56-year-old owner said he was returning home after having bought the horse earlier at a fair. Police believe the horse was given alcohol to make it appear stronger and healthier.
