Just so. I'm a vegetarian too, but I think that once you've decided that it's OK to kill animals and eat them, choosing which animals to eat is simply a matter of local taboos. As everybody knows, my ancestral culture has more... adventurous eating habits than many, especially in the south.
Horse-meat is eaten without qualms in East Asia wherever is is readily available. It is something of a staple in Mongolia and other parts of Central Asia, where nothing derived from horses goes to waste (fermented mare's milk wine, yum! :-P), and donkey-meat buns are a Beijing regional favourite. Australians don't generally eat horse-meat (a few "gourmets" feel they should, in emulation of the French :oops:), but horses are slaughtered for meat here, and each year thousands of tonnes are exported to Japan, Korea, and China.
Is it cold in here?:
Now I'm thinking that I'm ethically inconsistent for deliberately passing up the chance to eat whale meat while visiting Iceland.
Sorflakne:
I'd say that you shouldn't eat whale, because whales are rather intelligent. But then again so are pigs, and I love grilled pork chops, which would make me a hypocrite.
RedWolf4:
As a friend once said while fishing "If it can't outsmart me during the hunt, it shouldn't complain when I eat it."
Barmymoo:
If you give a shoal of fish a fuck-off big boat and a net I'm pretty sure they would outsmart you with it. And I would love to know what you'd do against a herd of cows with electric shock guns powerful enough to kill a grown man.
