AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Feb. 8 Netherlands animal rights group Wakker Dier said Thursday many hamburgers, frikandels and krokets in the country contain horsemeat.

The Wageningen University study of 286 food items found 32 percent contained meat from horses, Expatica reported Thursday.

The rights group said the study was commissioned to address public concerns about the use of horse meat, as most people in the country consider the animals to be pets rather than a viable food source.
