Re: [RC] slaughter vs consumption - Sisu West Ranch
"...And to suggest that it is unethical for humans to consume
horses is biased at best...."
Food prejudices are cultural and religous
based. When someone attempts to force others into their ideas of morality
is where the problem starts.
If someone wants the consumption of horse banned
on ethical grounds they should also support:
1. A ban on the consumption of pork. Two
major religions Judaism and Islam do not allow consumption of
pork.
2. A ban on Lobster. Same two
religions.
3. A ban on consumption of Cattle. Hindus do
not eat Cow.
4. A ban on the consumption of all meat.
This would be supported by many Hindus and many Buddhists.
5. Reinstate the prohibition on consumption of
alcohol. Many Christian groups supported this the first time
around.
6. And probably many other foods detested by
smaller groups. (Wendy does not eat Lamb because they are
"cute". )
My point is: In a free country we must refrain
from attempting to legislate our person religious and/or moral code. Not
everyone believes the same thing.
