What Are The Issues Regarding The Consumption Of Horse Meat?
I am aware that horse meat is not as common in the States as it is over in Europe and Asia. What are the reasons why we do not consume horse meat over here? Is it for the same reason as their link to humanity; same reason why dog and cat sonsumption is frowned upon or is it health/sanitary reasons?
I am also aware that Jersey recently passed a law allowing it to be eaten over there.

Just a culture thing. Horse was more commonly eaten when most horses were farm animals. Now most horses are kept as pets. Like show horses or pleasure riding.
Never heard that it was not legal anywhere. I used to buty horsemeat at the pet store for my dog 30 years ago. Tried it as a burger, not bad but a little dry because it was so lean. Now the price is too high, heven't seen it in a pet store for many years.
