RINO BO

Maybe. But a nice looking Rino Bo.

Hey, absolutely true story:  When I was in middle school in Hawaii, they had some of the worst school lunches ever.  Well after a couple of years, it came out that the guy in charge of meat procurement for the schools was actually buying kangaroo meat and pocketing the difference.

Gross.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

I saw her up close at the Repub National Convention in '04 and she looks fab.

I've eaten it. It's much more like beef than dog.

[gridlock]

...which would simply help freedom die the death of a thousand cats.

We're not talking about North Korea, here!

I dont think that it is legal to butcher horses for US domestic consumption, but it is legal to butcher for export.

One more dumb law to repeal, along with the ban on consuming dolphins.

[seowulf]

Any advice would be appreciated...

I would suggest you shoot, hang, and butcher the animal all on your own. There is nothing that makes you savor the taste of a good equi-burger more than knowing your food comes from your own handiwork.

i own a few of my own and they, like our dogs, are part of our family.

Oh, I'd never eat a dog.

Heh... I just saw Caddyshack yesterday.

In all honesty it is tasty, not as fat as cow, maybe a bit too lean. My in-laws are French and I tried it there. The French picked it up (so the story goes) when Napoleons troops were returning from Moscow and had no food.

Unless you want Jews like me banning your pork industry.

I can't imagine Jews slitting throats and blowing up pork packing factories to enforce a nationwide ban on pork. I could imagine members of "the religion of peace" doing it though.

"seems a lot like eating dogs"

Not in the same class of meat. Buzzards won't eat dog unless it is properly prepared: Flattened multiple times by a truck and then cooked out in the Texas Sun for a week or more.

[Red Badger]

Stop (b)eating a dead horse?.......

[HungarianGypsy]

Can't eat it because it's cute, reminds me of the Denis Leary skit on tuna/dolphins.

My four year old says he won't eat any baby animals, but if they are adult animals he's ready to chow down. It's cute hearing his six year old brother discussing with him about why eating meat is okay.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

trust me

nope

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

We're not talking about North Korea, here!

I'm not, either. After all, North Korea probably eliminated freedom all at once. We in America do it incrementally.

[HairOfTheDog]

This ban had passed in the house and the unknown is whether the Senate will act on it or not this year.

Ping!

[ReignOfError]

If you don't want to eat horse or dog, there's a simple answer: don't. But don't get government in the business of legislating what kinds of meat are acceptable. Unless you want Jews like me banning your pork industry.

Or Hindus banning beef.

Horse and dog meat don't appeal to me, and I won't be chowing (ahem) down on them. De gustibus non est disputandum. But I can't see any way that's a reasonable moral position. Horses aren't endangered; in fact, they're abundant enough that the government spends a fair amount of time and money rounding them up and offering them for adoption.

If Europeans want to eat horse and we've got a lot of it, well, there's something to shove the balance of trade a little in our direction.

If the saddle club is for this ban, I won't be joining anytime soon.

[Eagle Eye]

I've had kangaroo and didn't like it at all.
