If I'd starve otherwise, yes to all four. I've done the last two.

Horse is not so bad and used to be eaten in the past, but became taboo.
Still available in Canada and Europe. Beef-- it just tastes good.

My point exactly. Horse is taboo. Why? Why say horse is wrong but cow
is ok?


Horses are pets or working partners on a ranch so they, like dogs, are
considered taboo by society.

So they don't get eaten because they can work? Surely if you breed more of them, you can eat them AND work them?
