re: Why is there a negative stigma about eating horse in the US?

Horses have been sources of transportation, farm cultivation, pleasure, sport, entertainment, battle, etc. They have brought a lot more to the table than just the taste of their meat and have earned the right not to be a food source for us.

Plus, they all have names. That's just weird.

Horses have better personality than half of all people.
I will not eat it out of respect and admiration for the species.

... if only there were a positive stigma associated with it.

I like that the horse lover in this thread is the only one who gave a valid reason why horses aren't eaten

What in the actual frick does this mean? It didn't EARN anything. We as their masters make them do what we want.

Clearly you haven't spent a lot of time around them. You can't always make them do what you want

I'd try it.

This is my beef with horse slaughtering for consumption. You go quartering up a horse that isn't thoroughly bred and raised for food purposes you're not going to get very long in the tooth. This might paint horses and their care in a negative light but we have to use lots of drugs on them that are bad for people to consume

Neigh, not for me.

I ate it a few times in China, and honestly it's tough as shite and not all that tasty. It's like well done steak. You're not missing out.

Horse hide is among the best leather that you'll ever own.

aspy, some cowboy types told me a while back that some horses will only allow certain people to ride them....do you think that is true or where they bullshitting me?

And I'm being honest here, donkey tastes much better than horse. A place down the street where I lived made a good donkey roll, and I was a fan.

I mean, there is a bond that forms. So... Kinda? I do guarantee that there are horses that only a select few can ride well.
I just know nobody else ever wants to ride mine
