I'm hardly advocating a wholesale genocide and consumption of our entire equine population. I just take umbrage at snooty and snotty pronouncements of things that, well, just oughta be and that's all there is to it, and anyone that doesn't think that way, sniff, well, that's just awful.
Especially when their positions are indefensible. Not immoral, not illegal and not in bad taste and certainly not Biblically proscribed (in the NT anyway).
Culture and customs and societal norms are not mere trifles to be mocked just because you don't happen to think they are worth caring about.
They are the things that make us different from say, the French, or Indians, or Aisa, or Eskimos, for that matter. We have things we value for something more than mere basic survival, and horses, dogs, cats, and other pet and service animals are just some of them. But yet probably on a thread about Asian dog eating, you'd post recipes just to show how rational you are. We're comfortable enough, and wealthy enough, to not ~have~ to sacrifice these animals for food.
So take your unemotional involvement and stick it.
