    Horses occupy a strange space between pet and farm animal. White people get about 30% as mad at the prospect of horse meat as they do over dog meat.

      Im not vegan or anything but I do find it funny that we will shame people for eating dogs while slamming down some pork and beef like it’s nothing

      In the US, we used to feed horse meat to dogs. That's what canned dog food used to be until 60s or 70s. It was outlawed though. The US and UK don't have much of a history of eating horse. There was probably a lot of it happening during the Depression but I think it's outlawed in most states, if not all. There's some European country that eats horse, not sure which though.
