It's a good thing horses never get old and die or this could be a real problem.

Ban something, create a dangerous black market.

This is common sense, the question is, is it worth it?

Banning Drugs, yes, for something like this, probably not.

They should develop a breed of horse for meat, I suggest breeding the dumbest horse you can find with the tastiest.

It sounds like the problem is people passing off horse meat as another kind of meet. I guess people who want to eat horse meat are free to eat it.

Prolly pretty good, then again, 'I'm the kinda guy would take a loaf of bread to a slaughterhouse and mop up the floor.'

Our ancestors prolly ate lot's of it before cars.

Tastes nice. Lean, good texture, not gamey. Had it in Japan and France.

I love my horse and someday will have to bury him. However, horses are livestock and there are too many in the U.S. now. Not a lot of people want to keep one in a pasture and pay for vet bills, feed, and stall. I don’t want to eat horse meat but if someone else does I don’t have a problem with that as long as the horse is humanely killed. And there is a better chance of that happening in the U.S. than if the horse gets shipped to Mexico for slaughter. How come some of the people raising Cain about killing horses will defend the right to kill a viable baby anyway. It’s a wierd world Willlllbur.

Not that different except more tendony (if that’s a word) and leaner than beef, not well-marbled like a traditional, aged American steak. I had it when I was in France in the Seventies. Many smaller, family-owned cafes could not afford to serve steak very often.

I know some elderly Belgians who still like it from time to time more for nostalgia reasons; it was their first big piece of meat during World War II.

Well, they never got old and died in Miami when I was a “corrosion corner” nonsked Boeing 707 Captain in the ‘70s. We loaded airplanes full of ‘em and flew down to Martinique.

Waste not, want not.
Sorry, Dobbin

It’s like lean, stringy beef.

These anti-slaughter rules only beget more senseless cruelty. But these squishy lib bed-wetters never give a moment’s thought to the comsequences of their actions. Which, in this case, are cruel beyond belief. And I say this as a dedicated horse owner.

Horses were food before they domesticated.

When they think: “There ought to be a law” they don’t think about the side effects of said law.

“It’s like lean, stringy beef. “

Probably more healthy than beef too.

You are right on the money. I want to grab these idiots who pass these laws and rub their faces in the cruelty they cause. This really gets me angry.
