Like it's not even a pet

I'm pretty sure Shadowfax was multiple horses with the same name cause Gandalf kept getting the munchies

Though i'm not against eating a horse.

Agreed.
Horse is supposed to be tasty.
Then again, we're still cool with enslaving life as long as it's not human; then again, some are cool with that.

My dad said when he was younger they sold horse meat around here in the supermarket.

He said it was stringy.

They're not really pets, but we ride on them and use them for other working purposes.

Probably because we let them get swole. I bet if we put it in a narrow cage and fed them corn and beat it, it would be tender and succulent. Like the wagyu of horse.

I dont believe in eating work animals. That includes truffle pigs, dogs, cats, laying hens and sheep used for wool. I just feel like its at that point its an employee/family member and you shouldn't exploit them

However an animal that is being bred for food is another story

The Swiss eat dog and cats, especially around Christmas time. The Swiss parliament rejected changing the laws to protect dogs and cats for human consumption in 1993.

I think it was a documentary called faces of death or something, but asian cultures eat dogs/cats and well, the show was horrid in that they would dunk them in boiling oil alive, to rumove their fur etc.....was hard to watch.

I think Americans find the concept of horse meat revolting because of the importance of the horse in the Wild West. A cowboy's livelihood, and even his life, was tied to his horse. That's why they would hang horse thieves.

Movies and radio and TV shows like the Lone Ranger or Roy Rogers treated horses as noble, intelligent, and beautiful creatures. Most people can probably name more famous horses than they can dogs. Most Americans think cattle are stupid and/or ugly, so there's no problem with eating them. Pigs are seen as stupid, dirty and ugly, so off to the slaughterhouse they go. But a horse is considered to be both smart and beautiful, and deliberately killing such an animal is an anathema to us.

At least we don't put kidney in bread and call it pudding.

Yeah I take it you never went to Creole country. Pudding noir, awful, and sweetbread. Dont be suprised what is cooked around the delta. You could get a Navajo taco over in arizona that includes various cuttings from a sheep.

Rat burgers Rat burgers YUM!

I know you probably meant from demolition man, but who knows you could be one of the few who saw Troll as well:)

I guess in Mexico they literally have to show the spit that the meat is cooking on, or it's mystery meat, and we heard the place we ate at was selling rat after we went to a bar nearby once lol.....i didn't order rat, and I didn't know it was rat, but supposedly I ate rat.

Snake on the other hand I saw shot and then bbq'd , so I know I ate that.

Honestly the aversion to gender neutral bathrooms is a whole separate thing that's also really weird

Maybe if bathroom stalls weren't built like chain link fences they'd be more popular
