Why was their even a ban on it in the first place? Ok, I'm not about to go eat a horse, And I can't imagine that most people would either.... But what's so bad about it that they would ban it?

I actually had a discussion with a friend recently about whether or not eating horse was legal. I was thinking about steak and it occurred to me that horses and big and muscular and probably covered in delicious horse steak.

That said, I'd feel kind of weird eating it, only because it's a hooooorse... it was mentioned earlier that eating horse is like eating dog because people love both as pets and shit. I'm inclined to agree. It's weird for that reason, but nothing I'd rage about.

Thoughts? Have you ever tried horse meat before?
And why should one form of meat be any different than another form? I mean, so long as we're talking animals, why can't we eat any fucking thing we please [Endangered species -clearly- excluded] I mean, if someone wants to raise horses for the purpose of slaughtering them and serving the meat? Then go for it. I think the stigma comes from the fact that people empathize with horses more than they do Cows, or Pigs, or other regular table fare. For some people the same stigma applies to deer...

Except those of us who have had a deer claim their car. We tend to be in the "Kill ALL THE DEERS" camp.

Now how should I respond to this thread considering I have a pony avatar?

Anyway, parroting others in this thread, how is this different from eating cow?

I love how so many people plan to troll the bronies yet totally miss how most of us in this thread are somewhere between okay and supportive of this.

I'm British so this doesn't really effect me but I for one am in support of this, I just wish I could make myself willing to try. Damn my cultural upbringing. >.<

It's not, nor is it any different from eating the family dog
The family dog is a little different.

You know the family dog personally. Or at least have as much connection with it as you can a non-sapient creature.

I think it's a joke. I hope it's a joke. It would be really sad if it wasn't.

Equestria has sapient animals. It's not very moral seeming to eat a sapient being. I'd be okay with the ponies eating humans if we were are stupid there as the horses on this planet.

I'm pretty sure that's the generally justification for eating animals in general.

Wait... what? It was illegal to eat horse meat in the USA? Wauw... I eat horse atleast once every two weeks on some bread or toast. I still find it extremely strange how people think eating a horse is inhumane though. In Belgium nearly everyone eats horse. I guess we must all be monsters!

EDIT: I honestly don't know WHO is actually eating rabbit, but I atleast know SOMEONE is lol
Honesty, the only reason I don't eat more; duck, rabbit, squirrel, emu, frog, turtle, alligator, name it... is the price. While I can appreciate the differences in flavor and texture the whole "tastes like chicken!" joke isn't really all that far off in most cases. It's similar enough that I'm not willing to pay 2-10x more per pound over chicken.
Rabbit is one of the healtiest meat, you can say it's close to chicken but it's more refined so saying just "taste like chicken" won't do it justice, and it goes really well with mustard.

Thanks for the unnecessary racism on french people.....
Who gives a crap about the French. They hate us with a passion. There is a reason we call them frogs.
English ? If so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWBUl7oT9sAIf

But the reason we are call "Frogs" is because we eat frogs legs, with a good garlic butter it's something you can kill for...

*sigh*

Honestly, i'm pretty sure we could literally GROW meat without ever harming a animal at this point.
Have fun:

As a horse lover, I should be horrified... but then I realized I'm probably over-thinking things again.
