Should Horse Slaughterhouses be legal

[LBJer]

I will say this--anyone who says they should be legal (I voted no to this in the poll) doesn't have a right to criticize the killing of the horse in The Godfather.  It's hard to see why saving your godson's career isn't at least as legitimate a reason to kill a horse as wanting to eat it.

I don't really like the idea, no, but I don't have a very well developed opinion on this issue. I do, at least, think society has better uses for horses than eating them. I don't think you could say the same about cows or chickens or fish

A great many people in India would strongly disagree with you on cows

I don't count superstition as legitimate reason for anything.

How is that any more a "superstition" than, say, the belief that the bread and wine used for Communion become the body and blood of Jesus?  Both things are religious beliefs, not matters of fact.
