That is absolutely the tough part with them. They're such affable tasty beasts. I probably would never do it myself either, unless my whole family needed it in order to survive... and even then as an absolute last case scenario. Maybe. An alive horse sounds kind of more useful than a temporarily full belly, thinking logically. Bu they breed like crazy in the wild...

There's a horse slaughterhouse here. There was a video awhile back of a dude saying fuck you to peta or someone, and recorded himself shooting a horse between the eyes with a pistol. They ship the meat to mexico I believe
