Blackbriar 8,569 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Anyone see this last night (think it's been on before though) ? There was the usual squeamish sorts and those who make feeble excuses ("you can't eat horses 'cos you ride them!" , "you can't eat them because they're cute" and so on) What really surprised me, mind you, was that horse owners didn't seem that bothered by it . High in protein, low in fat and half the price of beef. Provided the animal is reared well and killed humanely, are we guilty of double standards - after all we don't mind eating little cuddly lambs ! Are we, as a country, just being squeamish ????

jonah. 775 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) if it was reared for the table and not fed drugs that may or may not be harmfull, then i have no issues eating it all. the biggest issue is companies, mainly european, ripping me off by charging beef prices for what was horse (old nag at that), they make enough out the food chain in this country as it is.
