In Japan, scientists have developed a Chess machine so intelligent that it has given up chess altogether and now hosts its own TV chat show.

What is the difference between eating horses and eating pigs, or cows.
Rabbit is widely eaten in France where it's not often kept as a pet; in the UK however, rabbits are pets and although it is available in some supermarkets, few people eat that meat. We don't have a word for "bunny" in French 😉
In France we have specialist butcher shops (boucheries chevalines) where only horse meat is sold as I believe ordinary butcher shops are not allowed to sell it.
It's not just France though: horse meat is eaten in Austria,Germany, Belgium, Quebec, Iceland, Italy, Japan (where I believe they eat it raw), the Netherlands. Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland etc... to name a few.

Japanese have some strange eating habits: raw chicken, raw fish, raw beef (not tartare), raw horse; however, they don't believe that you can eat rabbit.
Originally posted by FrenchQueenIn many countries, rabbit is both eaten and a common household pet. Thus, your logic is flawed.

Pigs are more complex and intelligent than horses, cows, dogs, cats and most other mammals, yet most people are happy to eat them, so intelligence isn't a factor either.
Basically, I think people eat whatever the hell they want, but look down on those who eat what they don't. People are idiots.

Originally posted by KalsenI don't think my logic is flawed, I think what I said applies to most of the Western World where we generally don't eat our pets.

I did not argue for or against eating horse meat in my post, but merely stating facts; but just for your info I was a non-meat eater or pesco-vegetarian for 6 years.
By the way, I'm curious to know what makes you think that " pigs are more complex and intelligent than horses, cows, dogs, cats and most other mammals"...
