I'd say Nay. I wouldn't want to eat it.

Why? Well... that's complicated.
There's a list of animals/animal types that I won't eat. I actually don't know everything on it. I just know that something is on it when I think about eating it and go "Eh... Nah."

What I do know is on it is:
Some Service animals (Horses, Dairy Cows, etc.)
Predatory animals (Wolves, Lions, Pumas, etc.)
Pet Animals (Dogs, Cats, Goldfish, Ferrets, etc.).

You can't easily pull a plow with a Ford Focus. And horses don't need gasoline- only grass (or hay) and water.

Sure, but you can ride a little tractor to town. I saw plenty of 'em in dirt-poor parts of northern Pakistan, and if they can afford them, pretty much anybody can.

There are too many wild horses in Austalia. Kill them and eat them (or put them in pet food).

No need to let good energy go to waste. Horses are not really different from cows or sheep. They may be a bit less efficent in weight gain as they are not a typical consumption animal but that could change in time.

I had horse in Europe, in Denmark, raw, coarse ground, with a horseradish garnish.

It was really really tasty. U went back for.

This was for breakfast, where we also had options of raw egg in orange juice, or eel.

Can't eat that tractor, use it to breed more tractors, or use it's wastes as fuel, building material, or fertilizer.

Here's my opinion. Horses are dumb. Dumber than most animals we eat. I guess if they're killed mostly painlessly (or at least quickly) and they taste good, why not?

Proud National Socialist. Blaming everything on the liberals since 2000.

The world is full of criminal enterprises and terrorist organizations. The most successful ones are known as states.

Life is like surfing the Internet - there's no meaning or purpose, yet you don't really want to quit either.

The fact that slaves are allowed to elect their masters does not abolish the division in masters and slaves.

Don't try to deride me by calling me an "-ist" or "-phobe" unless you are referring to a medical condition or are trying to compliment me.

Socially-liberal capitalist democracy DOES NOT equate to free society.

Contrary to popular belief, National Socialists aren't racists. They simply hate their own race less than others.

It would also help with all the old horses that end up uncared for, eating horses is humane.

I'm a very picky eater and generally only like beef, so I doubt I would like it. Never know though.
