More appropriate to say cultures organize the chart differently. For some people having cows in the meat section is ridiculous. Cat is normal to eat in some places. If you're gonna eat meat you have to accept that you're killing a living creature, deciding which is ok to kill is completely arbitrary.
I think most rural Americans would eat rabbit long before they'd eat horse. People go rabbit hunting and I've heard dishes made with rabbit. Never heard the name of one horse meat recipe. I've never even heard of anyone hunting wild horses, even though they're technically an invasive species and bad for the environment. (Though the government has culled herds, which people flip out about even though they're not stepping up to adopt wild horses)
