“Eating animals which are traditionally pets, like cats, dogs, and horses, is barbaric.”
I would agree with you unless I was really hungry. Horses are a different matter, they are beasts of burden, just pretty cows and although I’ve never tried it, I’ve heard it’s quite tasty. Horse meat is very popular in Europe and many parts of the world, I’d eat eat it. Bet if I threw a horse steak on the grill and told you it was some exotic game meat you’d like it just fine.
They had foal on the menu when I was in Austria, but I couldn’t bring myself to try it.
