Seems that meat eaters are if they are getting upset about a bit of
dead horse on their plate. What is the difference between killing and
eating a pig, goat, cow, sheep or WHY and killing an eating a horse?

a) It's not what they were told they were getting.

This bit of the thread had wandered off into omnivore, vegitarian and
vegan diets BWTH. Yes it wasn't correctly labled but that doesn't make
the food inedible.

b) By definition, its source was uncontrolled, and it may be
adulterated/drugged whatever.

The source of the horse meat doesn't have to be the starting point of the
chain. With so many middlemen all wanting to make a profit I'm sure there
could be ways of adding extra mass to the product and adjusting the
paper work as it passed through.
