Reply #13: Therefore, does it follow

that apes, dolphins, dogs, and cats should also be acceptable and widely available meat sources? As I said, people don't want to eat certain animals - the ones we have a special affinity for. Most of humanity will eat anything when they are starving and I have no argument with that, but well-fed people put limits on the kinds of creatures they are willing to eat. What's wrong with that?

I love my dog - I will not voluntarily eat dog meat. I once had horses that I loved - I will not eat horse meat. The fact is, one animal is NOT better or worse than another. In reality we get emotionally attached to some of them and who is to say we should not be repulsed at the thought of eating them?

Edit: Not to mention the fact that the wild horses are a part of our heritage.
