Killing Horses for Humans to Eat!

Quote:Why??? Horse meat is delicious. I ate in Japan, not knowing at the time what it was, but it was very good.

it's funny how some people can put one thing (a horse) over another (a cow)

 

OK I've had it to along with puppy. Didn't know pony and puppy were really just that.

Horse meat was salty and the puppy was great. And yes when I found out I threw up all over the place and was sick for days. No from the taste but the idea.

I'd just like to know what it is that we're running out of to make them think we need to do this.

 

it's really better for the horses when they stopped allowing it a few years ago horses started being starved to death it's the same as chickens that don't lay anymore but cant be killed

 

It's all purely cultural. It makes no difference, except to the beast we choose to eat versus those we grant some kind of irrational, emotional pardon or exemption from eating.

In many, many countries, horse meat has always been eaten, just as other cultures eat chicken, fish or beef or just as Southeast Asians, Korea and Native Americans eat/ate dog. We assign these values culturally. There is no rational, intrinsic difference in the various creatures.

 

America has been the #1 exporter of horse meat for a long time, most of it goes to south america from what I understand it certainly isnt anything new.

 

It is sad, but there is a glut of them for sale. I guess people can't afford to feed them. They were selling for $10 each at the auction last week:-(

little fun fact im in korea atm and they actually have a breed of dog bred purely for meet and it is very expensive(i always thought they just ate like the family pet when it got too big or old to do anything with)​
