# 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.

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.

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.

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.

So as you were, I guess.

Generally, eating horses is not one of them in the UK.

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.
