Kay Springer www.showboatgsd.com If you travel to France and eating horsemeat would offend you, look over the door sill of the restaurant as you enter. You will quickly become familiar with an insignia that signifies horsemeat is served, and if so, don't order stew or daily specials etc. Unfortunately, I waited until my now ex had started his "special" before telling him, and poor guy, it was all he could do NOT to spit on the crisp white table linens, lol. Believe me, he never would have know otherwise <G>. IMO, our prosperity has allowed us to elevate certain species. I have horses (show, hunter/jumper/ race) and yes, we made pets of them. You can also make a pet of a calf, a pig, a chicken and I'm told even a fish.
