What do you mean eating horses is not OK, in Switzerland we have plenty of horse butchers, you can find horse meat products like salami in all bigger supermarkets.
Its not consumed in same amounts as beef for sure, but its not shunned by most. And yes there is no logical reason to eat beef (especially calves if we consider the cuteness factor) but not horses, horse meat is even healtier.

- rkomorn 1y agoI'm not sure how "it's okay in <country x>!" is really relevant, TBH. There are plenty of places where it's not considered okay by a significant portion of the population, so it's a pretty valid to use it as an example of an inconsistency.
- codingdave 1y agoCultural bias is definitely relevant in a discussion about why people do or do not choose to hunt and/or eat specific meats.
- rkomorn 1y agoThe point of horses was an example of an inconsistency. Saying "I have a counter example" doesn't create a relevant discussion. It doesn't make the horses example any less of an example of an inconsistency. Edit: not only that but the whole point of me bringing up inconsistencies was to say that just because they exist doesn't mean people can't have ethical concerns about whaling (or other kinds of animal hunting / farming).
- hdgvhicv 1y agoYou said eating pigs is ok, massive numbers of countries don’t have pork on the menu. You said eating beef is ok, yet go to India and try that Your culture thinks eating horse is bad, other cultures it’s fine, but beef or pork is bad. Even dog and cat are quite common in many countries.
- rkomorn 1y agoIt's an example of an inconsistency that people have when it comes to what they're willing to eat. It does not have to be a universal truth.
