Some of us at the office have this discussion once in awhile. Out west here we have a terrible problem with wild horse populations. They are eating themselves out of house and home. The BLM truly doesn't know what to do with them anymore. They round them up and try to find homes for them but that market is becoming saturated. Just not many folks left who have a need for a mustang. The option of shipping them to slaughter is effectively closed because of well-meaning animal lovers.
Anyway, not to debate the merits of wild horses, but what is the answer? My solution, given halfway in gest, is to declare them a game animal and put a hunting season on them.
That leads to the question posed here. Would you eat a horse you shot? I say ABSOLUTELY! I haven't ever tried the taste, but when you look at them, they don't look bad. Take a look at the hind quarters of a horse. Can you imagine the size of a sirloin?
So, have any of you eaten horse? Would you eat a horse if it was a game animal?
