This statement amuses me. I doubt that many folk (though there will
always be some) are opposed to the "eating of horses" but rather the
appalling treatment of horses through the slaughter process. Even in
America in times of need, horses were eaten and, if those circumstances occur
again, will most likely be brought again to the dining table.
Interestingly, the foreign owners of Cavel, etc., are not making their
millions by selling horsemeat to the impoverished and starving countries in the
world but rather the wealthy diners who have discretionary dollars to
spend.
Also, the foreign owners of the slaughter plants come to America to
purchase and process their horse products because our horses are so cheap.
Our horses are so cheap because we produce too many. We produce too many
because we are a greedy nation. Now, therein lies the real bite.

Those who claim that it is immoral to eat any horse or even their
own horse, should ask themselves the following question: "How hungry
and starving would my child have to be before I killed my horse or dog
and fed it to them?" This is the true reality that does
bite.
