What's the problem? There is a lot of meat on a horse.

I do think the add is a joke.

Yeah that is what I was about to type.

Horse meat is popular in other countries. I generally see nothing wrong with it. In France horses aren't just work animals, or pets, they also share the same purpose of other livestock, & that's feeding the people. Just as an example.

It's an interesting topic.

Except the treatment of some of those horses that have served people and developed relationships with people their entire lives like retired race horses. Once prized, no longer of use, or failing in health sent off to the slaughter house for glue or dog food? What a sad pathetic end.

I think it would be one thing if they were specifically domesticated for that purpose as opposed to wild Mustangs and unwanted/neglected pets or service animals. I don't know anything about horses in France though.

Were you angry reacting my post because of what I said or because of the idea that some people eat horse meat?

No no, not you, the idea. Last I checked it was still a thing in the US and Canada. I checked a while back. My other post should clarify my reasoning. I know horse meat is a historical thing though.

I was using France as an example of one of the countries that actually eat horse.

I see it as a new purpose in some cases, not completely cruel. But not all end up like, some people make retirement sanctuaries for the race horses. I'm a neutral person.

I don't compare with pets, actual pets though.

I also don't judge other countries based on what they do. It's their way of life.

Are you trying to tell me a horse isn't a pet
