No way would I want to eat a horse but I admit, I am a hypocrite. Doesn't bother me about cows, pigs or chickens but I bet if I was around them more, I would feel different. Horse meat is way to lean anyway. There are people around here who buy up a bunch of horses at auction and pack them into a semi so tight that they cant move. They take them to Mexico for slaughter. Horse aren't like cows and they are smarter than people realize.
