I have no problem with euthanizing starving, mistreated, unwanted horses.
I object to using that as excuse to say, “Oh, and it’s okay for humans to eat them.” No, it’s not. Not in America.
The cockfighting comparison is an example of something else that people of another culture want to do here in America. Well, they can’t, because Americans object. And that’s a perfectly good reason to ban it.
Most Americans object to eating horses. So that’s a perfectly good reason to ban it.
It’s not about eating, it’s about being humane.
Of course, if there is a market for dead horses then let there be some guidelines to go by.
How about killing the excess horses with a gunshot to the head and then not eating them, would that be okay with you?
“Most Americans object to eating horses. So that’s a perfectly good reason to ban it.”
No it isn’t. You don’t want to eat it, then don’t, but don’t try to tell me what I can eat or not!
