Watched a vet put a pony down once and it'll never happen on our place..... We have given two horses to the butcher because I feel it's a more respectful way to go than the vet option , laying around bloating and waiting on the meat wagon to come around and pick them up with a bucket/hook and dump them in a container of other rotting animals on the way to be burned/boiled......
Far as eating it, when I first got over here, there was a butcher/peddler selling salami, steaks, etc.... Sign said fleisch vom Pferde Metzger.... New Fleisch is meat so I was just proud as sh!t that I could read the sign and buy meat from old man Metzger....
Was standing nearby having a beer and piece of the salami when a guy says he didn't think Americans liked horse meat (Pferde Metzger is a horse butcher).... Didn't miss a beat and said "Yea, grew upon it, just never had any quite this good"....
FF to a couple years ago... Was at a horse show and there was a horsemeat stand. Asked my buddy who is a drugstore cowboy if he wanted a horse bratwurst... "cowboys don't eat their mounts" he says.....
I went later and got me a bratwurst from the real stand and got one from the horse meat guy, kept the receipt and took it back and gave it to the cowboy.... He wolfed it down and was happy.... Finished mine and asked how his was.... "real good" Gave him the receipt and enjoyed one of the stupidest looks I've seen in my life......
