What do you guys think?

Horse meat is legal in canada. I personally dont see it any different from cow or sheep or anything.
You have to realize that just because you disagree with it, doesnt mean someone else cant. The example was given about cats. Personally I wouldnt do that, but I know that is because they are raised as pets rather then food, they are companions.
Not saying horses arent by any means, but horses in general arent seen liek pets. If everything got the same respect as pets, if you decided to eat meat, you would be more conscious of how it was killed for food. Its about respect IMO.
The same thing goes with pork. Some religions dont allow you to eat pork, or lard, beef etc, and some do. As long as you respect that persons desicion, i wouldnt judge them for what they ate.

I live in an Amish and Mennonite area (I am neither)...they have beautiful horses, and the big quarter horses ...what grieves me is those horses work so hard working in the fields or pulling their buggies and in return when they get too old, they don't put them out to pasture, there is a nearby Cattle auction place but they auction off other animals, and there the Amish and Mennonites and probably others bring these poor horses there and they are sold off to slaughterhouses for dogfood and what not. they did a big write up on how cruel they were treated. Broke my heart, but I hate any form of cruelty. Watch the documentary Food, Inc... My god, I think I need to become a Vegan.
What disturbs me as well is that in some countries, mares are inpregnated over and over solely for their urine to make replacement hormones such as Premarin (PREgnatMARurINe) made me sick the documentary I saw on that...then they slaughter the offspring unless they want to breed the females.

I don't see horse meat being a norm. It's becoming more and more controversial for restaurants to offer it in their menus. It is simply wrong to slaughter/eat horses. Most people will tell you that. And just because it's legal in Canada, doesn't mean the USA isn't to blame.

It's food. The fact that people consider horses pets renders it taboo in western society. I wouldn't jump at the opportunity to eat horse meat but I probably wouldn't say no if I was starving.

If it was that simple, I don't think people would do it as often. What's wrong about it? (As far as eating them goes- I don't advocate slaughtering any animal the way we do today.)

Eating horse meat is no different than eating cow. Cow's are just as smart and emotional if not more than horses.
