Back in the day (1970’s) I bought canned horse meat in the generic aisle in the supermarket.
It made great chili & other dishes while camping. Tasted good too.

You are pretty clueless on the concept of economics in general.

Real life is not “My Little Pony.”

Horses die.
Some have defects that kill them, others develop fatal diseases or are attacked and critically injured by other animals.
A lot of them even have to be put down on purpose because (Contrary to make believe world) they are violent tempered and pose a danger to other animals and to their human handlers. This has to be done no matter what is done with the body.

A horse carcass is a huge piece of meat. If it can not be sold for consumption by animals or humans then disposal becomes a pretty hefty financial drain on a small operation.

Have you ever even thought about this? The basics I have given you used to be taught in elementary school.

Horses and Cows eat grass and have a hoof. Why not? Horsemeat is lean and these are of unwanted horses, not Secretariat.

Back in 1957 we were buying meat at Bob’s Meat Market in a northern city. Good quality, low prices. Then we saw an article in the paper that Bob’s had been raided and shut down for selling horse meat.

I don’t know if we ate any horse meat but I suspect we did. I would not knowingly do it.

“This is disgusting! I’ll eat alot of things, but I draw the line at horses.”

Well, there’s your answer then. Don’t eat horse meat.
