(St. Louis) Inbev, with their recent acquisition of Anheuser-Busch Inc. which has sent shock waves throughout St. louis and the world has recently announced the first of many changes to the corporate structure of the combined corporation now known as Anheuser-Busch Inbev.
"We've decided that the continued housing and boarding of the Clydesdale Team is far too costly to continue", said Jasper Voorhees, spokesman for Inbev which is based in Belgium. Voorhees continued, "The Clydesdale Team are a bygone symbol of Anheuser-Busch. We decided that it's time has come so we opted to cut funding and had them remanded to the County Humane Society near their home in St. Louis"
"Inbev is known for the lean running of it's business", Said Mitch Alder, Chairman of the St. Louis Business Association. "This is an outrage. First they forcibly acquire a company that is a symbol of America and then they dispose of the symbol of the company!"
The Clydesdale became a symbol of the Anheuser-Busch beer company when August A. Busch II (Gussie Busch) told his father (then current President of Anheuser Busch) that he needed to come see the new Lincoln car he had purchased. After admonishing "Gussie" that purchasing a new luxury vehicle during the depression was unwise, he came out of the brewery in St. Louis and discovered to his delight a new Studebaker Beer Wagon and a perfectly conformed Six Horse Hitch of Clydesdales. Since that time, the Budweiser Clydesdales have appeared in many of their television commercials.
"We are sure they will find a loving and permanent home. The people of the United States love and admire horses, they have long been a symbol of your country since its inception. Here in Belgium horses are loved in much the same way except, we also eat them regularly" Voorhees concluded.
