it’s what’s for dinner
Comment on my comment, from the very popular Fugly Horse of the Day blog:
I am not anti-slaughter. I love beef, pork, chicken … and it isn’t my place to say that my neighbor can’t eat horse, dog or gerbil if that’s his thing.
I am, however, in favor of HUMANE treatment for any and all animals bound for slaughter. The rules should not be the same for a chicken, a pig and a horse, due to their uniqueness, however, it is hypocritical to consider one type of animal okay for eating and another somehow too cute to be food.
Horses are sport, work and companion animals. They are NOT food animals. It has nothing to do with being cute.
