Both cross the line into “gross” and possibly “cruel”.
Smh this is why people need at least a bit of vegan theory. Every kind of meat is cruel and if you disagree you don't suddenly get to pick up that line again when it comes to horses, dogs, or whatever you happen to find cute.
I'm not a vegan and love hamburgers and steaks. I like to think humans are true omnivores who can eat everything. I've had scorpion on a stick and one of my claims to fame is having eaten more species than 95% of the humans on this planet. Granted, most of it was from obscure seafood but it still counts. I also eat obscure vegetables if that helps. Because omnivore.
Well it's clear you have no problem with animal cruelty for food then, so perhaps you should examine why you find "exotic meats" such as horse to involve some exceptional amount of it. This was my point - the most barebones vegan analysis can reveal some interesting parallel prejudices.
If it was at all possible I would raise, slaughter and butcher my own meat. I looked into it; but it just wasn't feasible as I live in a city. Trust me, I tried. I hunt whenever it's possible, which is not often.
I grew up on a farm that raised its own meat. You'll have a fun time trying to sell me on it.
But I don't really care - it doesn't really matter to you what I think of your diet. The point about parallel prejudices is one that deserves hammering down, and the reason that I'm leaving this comment is to point out to anyone else how interesting it is that you've chosen to ignore it but still taken the time to respond and defend what you eat, twice, when that wasn't even what the conversation was about.

If you give them a big hug before you cut their throat, it makes it okay.
