Horse meat company

[cosmo]

Video of horses slaughtered for human consumption.
Horse meat customers include France Belgium and Japan.

�It�s a dirty little secret, that doesn�t benefit the city of Kaufman, the state of Texas or the United States,� said Kaufman mayor Paula Bacon.

Americans think there are laws to protect horses. They have no idea that three foreign-owned slaughterhouses, not American-owned, are operating in this country, two in Texas, and killing 100,000 American horses.

They�re being killed for human consumption abroad, primarily in Japan, France and Belgium. At Belgian-owned Dallas Crown, it�s prime meat day today.

A hundred or so years ago in the south Pacific, people were referred to a long pig.

How is caribou taboo? They're nowhere near endangered and they're commonly eaten in areas where they're... well... common. It's no more taboo than deer, just less common.

The only problem with caribou is that it's quite strong which is why it's usually made into sausage or jerky.



Oh, and yeah, I've eaten it. Quite good, though I like moose better.

Cariboo is as dry as a popcorn fart. It's eaten all over the nroth of Canada.

Weird foods ...

the octopus, while it was still alive in my mouth (just a tentacle, not the whole thing like that guy in "Old Boy") and my friend told me to chew it carefully because if one of the suckers gets a hold of the inside of my esophagus, no kind of Heinlich procedure would help much ...

alligator, in Florida, sometime after they were off the endangered list ... tatses like chicken! I swear ...

eel ... dunno if it's odd to most people, but it was still alive while it was cooking on the skillet in front of me. They are tastier when they are freshly dead. That's in Yeouido, by the way, 10-minute walk from the Korean Natioanal Assembly, but no one cares ...

grasshoppers in Thailand, just as a snack, street food.

um, yeah, I've chowed down on fido 3 or 4 times, no big deal, not the most delicious of flesh ...

I think I voted for kangaroo, though I've never tried it ... I'd like to, sometime, though.

Being a lifelong vegan, I am always been curious about this issue. My meat-eating friends in different cultures have such conflicting ideas about which animal they can eat and which they cannot -- or what is acceptable. I have no such decision to make: I eat all vegetables fit for human consumption (don't care whether it is dirty or looks like me or is purple, etc.) and have no moral quibbling about eating that one or that one. One would think the same would hold true for eating sentient beings -- if you choose to eat that animal's flesh and organs, why not that one too? I'm not trying to raise a moral issue, but rather a philosophical one. I think everyone has the right to eat what they want. Saying that, however, I must add I am pleased that in the 21st century the eating of human flesh now very rarely occurs. And, well, I didn't vote in the poll LOL.

I have several rules for the meat that passes all the way through my alimentary canal. Some proscribed categories overlap.

1) I don't eat animals from my own biological family, that is, Primates.

2) I don't eat cute animals. Cats, Dogs, Finches.

3) I don't eat vermin. Rats, Roaches, Mice.

4) I don't eat rodents, with the exception of Rabbit when to not eat it would cause social embarrassment.

5) I don't sea mammals.

6) I don't eat bugs.

7) I don't eat reptiles.

I am a product of my heritage and upbringing. I eat beef, pork, chicken/duck/goose/turkey, lamb, deer (if I must), fish and crustaceans (though no shellfish outside of clams in clam chowder).

My meat/animal food sources make no logical sense outside of what my taste buds and sensibilities were trained to by an early age. I stand by them.

My disdain for other peoples, however illogical and un-publicly-voiced, are contained to those who eat species I regard as pets and vermin. That is, "How can you eat Dog? How can you eat Rat?" I know, I know, the world is a multi-faceted place, and I know there's no moral difference between eating a nice beef steak and a nice steak of human, but still ... I'm a product of my culture, and not sorry to be so.

As far as I'm concerned everthing on this earth is for human consumption. Excepting poisonous items. Truthfully anyone on this board will eat everything on the list and more if the situation is right.

Oh yeah jang-o rocks!! and is my favorite Korean food.

One meat I'd really love to try is fox.

Fox-hunting is very popular and traditional in England as we all know - an excellent, totally defensible practice. I have genocidal fantasies about mowing down anti-fox hunting wimps with machine gun fire.

Anyway - why don't the STUPID English eat fox meat?? All those dead foxes. I don't think the hunting dogs eat them - or do they? I honestly don't know.

Anyway, one main reason why they aren't eaten I assume is because they're canine. Western people have such retarded attitudes towards canines.

In England, foxes are vermin. Turn population control into a small meat industry and national tradition!
