veterinarian - they do eat meat. However, the cow is sacred in the Hindu

The issue of horse slaughter is not an issue of absolute it is tied up 
in the ethics of the culture and individuals involved. There are many in 
the US that feel that the US should not support the production of food 
from horses shipped from this country and they petition their Government

no hypocrisy if the belief is founded on their own ethical standards.

If horse slaughter for food should be is not cut and dry or black and 
while and as long as we have a multitude of opinions on that issue - 
there will most likely never be agreement.
