My opinion is meat is meat. Why do we eat cows but not horses? Because horses are "beautiful, intelligent, companionable" creatures, and cows are not?
I've owned both horses and cattle, and I think cows are also beautiful, intelligent, and companionable, too! Wouldn't trade my 4-H days showing my heifer for anything.
