Humans are just freakish creatures anyway.
-I mean, we breed by prodding a thing in a hole and then grow one of ourselves in a giant, fluid-filled cyst, before trying to squeeze it out in unbearable agony. Some of us do it several times. -Our societies can barely exist without creating an 'us and them' mentality, which usually leads to the 'them' being marginalised and oppressed. -Our evolutionary success partially derives from our ability to eat other creatures that aren't that dissimilar to us. There is also evidence to suggest that humans once widely practised endocannibalism. -We enjoy looking at cat videos.

You'd probably have to hang it for a good few weeks to make something out of it that anyone would want to eat. That or use a really big sledgehammer, which might seem a bit disrespectful to poor Nobbin.
nobody knows what horsemeat was used. Every cow in the UK has a 'passport' and is traceable throughout the system. I wouldn't mind eating horse, but I'd want to know it has been checked for disease etc before I do.

Given my passport cost about seventy quid
I think it's pretty fucking profligate of the UK government to dish them out to cows willy-nilly.
If your entire life consisted of standing in a field then being killed and eaten, you can't begrudge them a holiday. Strange so few cows take up the option.

True
But cows can't go on planes -- too big -- and and things tend to happen to them when they pass through France. Being eaten is bad enough but being eaten raw by a Frenchman? The mind shudders.
and some people have pet pigs, chickens and even cows
I don't quite understand how some animals are for food and others not (other than taste, which is almost irrelevent with the factory farmed slurry that most pies, slices and sausages are made from)

I'd say you could look at how many carnivores are used as food animals
but it would be a bit of a silly argument, herbivores are a hell of a lot more docile and we can raise more of them at a time whereas for a carnivore we would need to raise animals for it to eat before eating it ourselves.
I think it made my older sister cry so it wasn't put on again. The same goes for Watership Down. I've never actually eaten rabbit but I rather like venison.
sometimes I think this argument boils down to "You eat cow by products, therefore you should have no qualms in eating your cat. I'd quite like you to eat your cat to satisfy my sense of injustice at your apparent hypocrisy."

I live on a farm with stables...
...I also like eating horse, but not the ones from the stables or the girls would get very upset. I had a most succulent foal steak last time I was in Spain. Since then my wife divorced me and my daughter kicks me in the nuts every time I mention that delicious foal steak.... oooffff!

it's because in the uk horsemeat is by accident, unless you live in the country and don't really give a crap as long as it's not diseased.
but anyway, people have various ideas.
Generally, eating horses is not one of them in the UK.
Unless the horse is really cute.
and chopped into tasty cutlets.
Cooked in various ways, various succulent tasty ways.
I feel hungry now.

I think it is a historical hangover
Old horse probably tastes crap. Young horse was too valuable to eat because it was too useful for plowing, transport etc. Eating a horse might give you 10 meals, using a horse to work on a farm will give you 1,000 meals.

I was told that the older the horse, the better the meat.

What I mean is, I can understand being okay eating any animal, or refusing to eat any animal.
I can't understand the halfway positions which most people seem to adopt. Also, I'm tired of people asking me "but you still eat fish, right?"

True, I don't understand
the halfway types either. I'll eat, or at least try, almost anything (If you are paying). The only food I wouldn't give a go would be because it was endangered etc. I don't understand people who say 'I don't eat X' when usually there are about 500 ways to prepare it that all taste a bit different.

I'd have happily eaten horsemeat in Switzerland if it didn't cost so much.
Next time I'm in France, however...

I don't think the majority of people are upset, we're laughing about it in reality, and the main purpose of the shocking headlines is just to create a media circus, to get people all up in arms about it so they continue to follow the story boosting advertising rates and sales of news papers..
