We eat horses don’t we? Ireland’s horse meat burger scandal

Hare Krishna's believe wars every few generations are the inevitable result of the accumulated bad karma of the dead animals consumed by humans. Most spiritual traditions worth their salt espouse vegetarianism, and not for nothing. As someone once said, if people had to kill their own meat (instead of subcontracting the butchering function), everyone would be vegetarian. People should have more respect for their bodies as the temple of their souls, instead of turning them into crematoria for dead animals. Going veggie neutralises the pungency of your gaseous emissions. And your bowel movements, although not exactly fragrant, will be nothing like they were. Think of the good you'll be doing the ozone layer.

Get that Irish up pop up B/S off my screen

I've been a vegetarian all my adult life, ever since someone took me to a slaughterhouse when I was a teenager. My brain and body continue to function to specifications--all systems remain at GO. I actually don't particularly like animals--I just don't want to eat their corpses. Not eating meat has never seriously restricted me, maybe it was just a little tough during the time I lived in Argentina, because those folks regularly pig out on meat. The only other way if has affected me is that I just cannot stand having intimate relations with a woman who has eaten meat in the previous hours, or who is generally a big carnivore. There's an odor from meat eating women's bodies that is far from erotic, regardless of how heavy a perfume they put on. I can do it with a smoker, but not with a woman that reeks of dead carcasses. I notice that carnivores like to avoid seeing how their meat is produced. Funny, because folks who eat bread don't shirk seeing how bread and cakes are produced. Any meat eater that wants to see the provenance of his burger can find countless clips of slaughterhouses on Youtube. Come on folks, check those sites out. And if you're into eating horse, there's a good slaughterhouse clip now circulating on Youtube in England, you'll find it easily on the web. Happy Hamburgers!

Haven't you been feeding your children Mcaroo burgers for years now without a word out of ya

A case of locking the sta[p]le after the horse has b[urger]ed.

I don't want to eat horse but if others do -- so be it. I do think we should know what's in our burgers though. I was in Ireland in 2010 and was amazed at the great sandwiches being sold at petrol stations. But you know I have noticed a desire for grass and sweet feed ever since.....
