I cann't figure out what is wrong with eating meat in reasonable quantities as long as the animùal has been slaughtered in a humane way. Man has always eaten meat and there was no such thing as abbatoirs ( or slaughterhouses depending on where you live ). What about the food chain? Small animals that are there to feed larger ones. Grass eaters to feed carnivores. Man has evolved and become omnivorous. Afterwards you eat what you want but I doubt if preaching is the way to gain converts! Just to be completly honest where I live you can buy horse meat in most of the supermarkets and from time to time I do buy it. I would say to those of you that have never tasted it you don't know what you're missing. In the country where I grew up we DID NOT eat horse meat but here where I have been living for the last40 +++ years I was told that it was beef the first time and I remembering saying how good it was. I am, in spite of being a meat eater, very much against animal cruelty and believe that there should be very heavy penalties on those convicted of such crimes.
