I think ...Bill and I had this discussion this week. I think from my 14+ years owning horses I am more sensitive to it than most, but I don't find it appalling. If I were given the choice of the "horse meatballs" to "beef meatballs" I would choose beef, because I don't have an emotional connection to cows. I think horse meat SHOULD be utilized to feed people and animals, because too many horses are euthanized and their proteins have gone to waste; being buried after being poisoned. There is a lot of meat on a horse and it could feed a lot of hungry people or zoo animals.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645403257684394542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545355.post-29780818111331667892013-02-27T13:00:34.405+00:002013-02-27T13:00:34.405+00:00preach it. amen.preach it. amen.revkjarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516266924883899536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545355.post-11662165318873350042013-02-27T03:30:41.211+00:002013-02-27T03:30:41.211+00:00We read about it in Australia and I was similarly ...We read about it in Australia and I was similarly perplexed! I do eat meat at the moment, but I feel far worse about eating pig (more intelligent than dogs, and just think of Charlotte's Web and Babe!) than I would about horse. I don't feel too bad about sheep -having had a particularly nasty and stupid one as a pet... But I did have some lovely pet chickens...
