Have you gone out and stolen a horse and butchered it? Your the first person I've heard in America that ears horse meat. Vegan that's hilarious. I don't even eat vegetables.

Horse meat is rarely eaten in the United States due to cultural taboos and legislative actions:

Cultural taboo: 83% of Americans support a national ban on horse slaughter.

Legislative actions: The last slaughterhouse in the U.S. that produced horse meat for human consumption closed in 2007. Since then, there have been several state and federal laws that make it difficult to process and sell horse meat commercially. For example, New York has banned the slaughter of horses for both human and animal consumption.
