Where has she been?

23 yrs in the horse industry and she didn't know? I find that very hard to believe even if she'd never been near a horse.

What's wrong with eating horses? It's another animal like cattle and buffalo.
If we don't let ourselves eat meat because the animal looks cute, then there would be nothing eaten but rats, opossums, and Chilean Sea Bass.

Oh brother, we really need the government to tell us what we can and cant eat.

We eat cows - some countries & peoples do NOT.
Some eat monkey (they are tasty) generally, Americans do not.
Rats, mice, cats, dogs, etc are all eaten in most parts of the world - the USA is snobbish about what it considers as edible.
So yes, it is only a cultural preference...

The residents of Flushing, NY will probably call this just another example of American racism.

I agree, we pass judgment on the cultures of others all the time :~) The benefit of being a fairly soft, wealthy country, is we don't ~have~ to do distastful things just to survive.
Ping!

Poll reveals that most Americans would prefer Heaven on Earth, but are unwilling to make the necessary sacrifices.

Do you remember the two kittens I wanted to send you? Well, now they both have been taught to play fetch.
Only problem is they have lots of energy and do not like to stop. : )
