Why can't we eat these glue factories? Seriously, you're not allowed to butcher them. That just seems dumb and wasteful to me. So would you eat a horse?
Horses
- Thread starter RandyForRubio
- Start date
Because they have a value that is greater when they aren't being eaten.

So are we now in the business of telling people what to do with their property and business to such a minute level?
Ferraris are more expansive than Hondas so I no longer want a Ferrari to be driven in regular traffic where it could get hit. Closed roads and race tracks only please.
As long as they abide by meat processing and other applicable laws it should absolutely be allowed.

I've never had a strong bond with a horse, but I've gotten attached to dogs before, so I can kinda understand why some people feel so strongly about this.
.
I lived in downtown SLC about 18 years ago. One time when I was walking to trax(?) to catch a train, I walked by a house that had 3 animals on a spit, roasting them over a fire. Couldn't tell what they were at first, but on further inspection, they were dogs that had been skinned out. Looked like greyhounds or something. I also lived with a Vietnamese family in SLC for a about a year, and they used to joke with me all the time about cooking my dog. In theory, I would have no problem with someone who ate a dog who was killed by a car or something, but I would hate for it to be legal for people to go down to the shelter to get dinner for the night, and I believe that's the line of thinking with the horse law. Horse lovers don't want to open the door where horses are being killed for food, or where supplying horse meat becomes a business. For anyone who has ever had a strong bond with any animal, this shouldn't be that hard to understand. Some animals are much more intelligent and feel emotions closer to being human than a lot of people realize.

So now we start passing laws about animals based on emotional connection and level of inteligence? Pigs are becoming a more common household pet (potbellies) and are actually very smart. Should we ban their consumption?
I get that people are attached but those people don't have to support the industry. Personally I do not feel that there are justifiable reasons to ban their consumption as long as they meet industry regulations and laws.

so now we're making laws about making laws?
Wait, what?
