People ascribe feelings, emotions, and human traits to animals. This tendency appears to be squeezing horse off the French menu.
Yet, its fine to eat cows. I don't get it, horse bad, cow good.
It would be an interesting study, the attribution of unassailable life rights to animals. Somebody who hurts a dog now goes to jail. That was not always the case, obviously.
Well horses have gained sympathy in France. Worldwide goat is the animal mostly eaten.
Reuters: In France, horse falling off restaurant menus
Last year, 15,820 horses were killed for their meat in France, of which over 7,000 were imported from abroad.
"Horse is indeed a French dish, but you'd be very hard-pressed to find it in any restaurants now..."
