No one loves cows unless there's ketchup involved. My brother and I grew up poor, but we didn't mind. Our mom could only afford horse meat. People told us it was wrong to eat horses, but it's OK to eat cows. I've never been able to understand that, but it's just how the cookie crumbles.
If God didn't intend for us to eat horses, why did he make them out of meat? He should have made them out of broccoli or tofu.
Does it go back to when George Orwell said: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others?"
