It is so weird how far we have come in this country on deciding what is livestock and what is not. We can not eat horse meat anymore. When we were kids, my dad was struggling and horse meat was cheaper than cattle. We ate it. Whippy. Nothing wrong with it. I understand that some people feel this is unethical. There is a difference between livestock and pleasure animals. I think to each his own. I would eat a horse. Why should they only be rendered for the "glue" factory, or animal feed. I think the meat would be just as well served for people who are on tighter budgets and go with out quality meat. I would not eat a horse that I had raised as a pet, but then again, maybe if I was in a position of "its me or the dog" I'd eat it. I would be respectful of it, just as I am of my chickens. I do not think I'd have a problem with other cultures eating cats and dogs, so long as they were butchered apropriately first.
However, since it is an illegal thing he is saying that he will do, then I'd report it also. We have laws in this country for a reason, no matter how... illogical they may seem. But maybe like PP said, figures he's just saying it to get them sold.
