Do We Really Have To Go Over Why It's Not Okay To Eat Somebody Else's Horse?
PUEBLO, Colo. — People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) announced Wednesday that it is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest an animal death case in Colorado.
A Pueblo-area family found their beloved horse, Nickel, butchered the morning of Jan. 12.
The 22-year-old animal was essentially cut into pieces, with all the meat carefully stripped from its bones.
The horse's heart and liver also were removed.
The family believes the animal was killed for the purpose of human consumption.

I’ve got nothing to hide, I’m firmly anti-horse-eating. I’ve said many times that I think horses are majestic creatures, wonderful creatures, and anybody who eats them is a psychopath. I guess if you own horses and decide to eat them, that’s on you. You’re a sick fuck but it’s your property. I’m shocked that there aren’t laws preventing us from chowing down on God’s finest creatures but so be it: people apparently eat golden retrievers so I’m aware that all manner of opinions exist out there. However, if you eat someone else’s horse, fuck you. If you eat any animal that belongs to someone else, fuck you: but especially horses. What a mean thing to do! I’m not even super upset about this as a weird thing to do (which is surely is), I’m upset because it’s really mean!
It’s not nice to take a thing that someone else uses for enjoyment, or company, and eat it. I remember a young Keegan once saw his younger brother enjoying playing with some stickers; they weren’t his pets, they weren’t breathing, but young Keegan’s younger brother loved them. Young Keegan took those stickers out of his younger brother’s grimy paws and ate them. Older Keegan regrets that, because it was a dick move. I don’t know why makes it so bad, but it probably has something to do with the use of an item that has long term sentimental value, and using it for its very short term value, a.k.a for eating something that somebody else loves. This animal was 22 years old! That's like a people-age! You basically ate somebody else's child!
If you’re going to do this, at least hide the evidence! Drag this poor animal out to the woods, do your dirty business and bury it: don’t just leave the scraps and bones behind! Don’t make it so obvious that all you did was make a bunch of sandwiches out of this thing. At least you should give the parents an opportunity to lie to their poor child; to tell them that “Neigh-Neigh” the horse is out roaming free with the other wild mustangs. Instead young Chucky comes out of the trailer and gets a front row seat to Neigh-Neigh’s non-valuable organs in a heap of rotting flesh and bones. You can't unsee that. Good luck paying the therapist for that one, mom and dad.
