Sorry, but I'm that amoral. I'd never hurt Diz, and I'm pretty sure I'd never kill a family member. But if it came down to my survival, I'm I'd eat them when they're gone.
I'm all for ethical farming - I do what I can to support it. Animals raised for slaughter should live lives as natural as possible, and be transported and killed as humanely (if that's not a misnomer) as possible. Which means I completely support hunting where the animal is eaten, and disagree with intensive farming.
Oh and yes I've eaten horse too, when I was on an exchange programme in France. Chewy, is my only contribution. But then everything was peculiar and strange, and I was only 15. I fell completely for the countryside (especially for the Puy de Dome - extinct volcano), the village itself, medieaval and high on a hill, and the utter FRENCH-ness of it - the boulangerie, the abandoned vinyards on the way out of town, the boules and fountain at the centre, the mists and mellowness (okay, it was Autumn)
