Horse Meat now selling is Western Australia!

I had that argument with a colleague the other day, He said meat is meat to him, and he would eat whale, horse, pig, cow etc.
And I said "what about a dog or cat then?"
"nah"
"why?"
"cats and dogs have a personality"

Are you serious? Every animal has a personality, even fish and flys. It's just that cats and dogs are given more of an opportunity to show theirs.

I guess he's not that much of a monster, he does meatless mondays and thursdays... which is better than most people.

Yeah..
Well, that is better than most. In Ireland i think it is, the whole country has meatless Mondays. I wish Australia had that. That would be amazing..

But I dont understand how people can think that a dog or cat is any different from a cow, pig, chicken, or even horse! Theya re all animals like us.. and it just blows my mind how some people don't get that..

I saw this in the paper! It's disgusting!

But you know what confuses me most?
When meat eaters get angry about this...It's like, why is it okay to eat all the other animals you eat, but not horses? Get angry about all the other animals too!

Exactly. Imagine if everyone knew that it'a wrong to eat animals and animal products; if everyone was vegan. The world would be so weird.. It would be great! Then we wouldnt have to worry about all this stuff, and the poor horses, cows, chickens, pigs, sea creatures, dogs, cats, rabbits, lambs, insects, and any other animals that are killed for human consumption.

I still dont understand that the government could make this legal! I'm sure they dont really care about the animals at all, but still!

Same with Kangaroos!!! It's our own freaking animal!!!! How can we eat out OWN animal? Grrr. Stupid people make me so mad... Sorry. lol.

it's like part of society is evolving in the wrong direction, just

i agree when will it end?? One time, i was dragged along to a dinner for someones birthday and i was discusted to find that they were serving emu, kangaroo, crocodile, and deer. *spew*

oh my! as if lamb chops weren't bad enough.. that's horrible! talk about patriotism! let's just eat our national emblem..

I note that the Agiculture Minister, Mr. Redman, who has allowed the consumption of horse meat to become legal, is also one of the key decision makers in the fate of the Kimberley Wild Horses.....no hope for them obviously.
