Horses?

[tyred]

Can anyone give me a brief resume on this thread to save me looking through the 22 pages so far ? I tried to jump in at page 11 and saw some mention of cows

Thanks

In a nutshell, Bonj seems to want to ban horses and cattle from the road, ban the transportation of hay by road and ban farming in general.

The same is true in cattle and presumably in all animals. The cross breds are always a far tougher animal than pedigrees. It's called hybrid vigour.

Presumably it's down to the limited gene pool in animals whose breeding has been restricted to a small group.

yep, pretty much. I don't see how that would have too much of a detrimental effect on society or the country as a whole at all.
A few "farmers" (i put it in quotes because in britain they don't actually farm, so much as get paid subsidies to do bugger all) would be out of work, but they could be offered jobs in the new industries and leisure facilities that would spring up on the land currently taken up by farms.

And the steaks are bigger.

Horse would be very tough meat, 'cos horses do a lot of exercise. It would probably take the average adult about 30 mins to eat a 1/2lb steak of horse, whereas they could neck the same of cow in probably less than 15 mins. They eat it in north korea apparently don't they - the commies trying to keep them in check by having them eating dinner for longer?

Well said bonj. But just looking back at your last replies:
The ones that divide us from men to sinners. Garrulous priests, and loose nuns... boom

Well the horse I had in France was very tasty and not at all tough.

You have not taken into account that cows also do a lot of exercise such as walking down the road from one field to the other twice a day to be milked.

A classic example of bonj mistaking 'imaginative opinion' for 'fact'...

Horse meat isn't any more tough than beef, I gather, and it's also better for you - less saturated fat.

The reason rump steak is tender is because a cow doesn't use its arse, muscles, which the meat is from.

"you gather"
so you haven't ever actually had horse, then?
