Eating a horse doesn't necessarily bother me. I'm more concerned that people are not able (or prepared) to know exactly what they're eating. As I said before, meat should not cost less than dog or cat food per kilo, that's obscene.
You should NOT simply trust meat because its halal or kosher or whatever, either.
I will only buy meat from a local butchers (and specifically one who I feel I can trust), unless I really can't help it. It's just common sense that most packaged and processed stuff will represent more risk.
In my opinion, a product that involves the welfare of another animal is not one that should be bought at the lowest price possible. The reason why we have the long (vulnerable) chain of production is because we demand meat to be so cheap.
