I don't believe consuming horsemeat is illegal - it's just that it's not a 
culturally "accepted" food in the US, as it is in some other countries where 
horsemeat is eaten regularly.  For me, the big issue with slaughtering horses 
for human consumption is the often-inhumane manner in which they're 
transported and/or held prior to slaughter.  The reduction in the number of 
slaughter houses has actually increased the distance many horses must be 
transported.  I don't know that it's decreased the actual *number* 
slaughtered...no info on that.  No, I don't like the idea of horses being 
killed, but it's not illegal to eat them.
