Early Catholic Christian doctrine also adopted some of these dietary restrictions as a superficial nod to the old testament but really because the church wanted to maintain horse numbers for use in transport, farming, and for war fighting purposes.
In 732, Gregory banned the consumption of horsemeat, both domestic and wild, anathematizing it as an "abomination" since it was associated with pagan ritual feasting.
It's unlikely that it had anything to do with maintaining horse populations, since that usefulness didn't prevent many other cultures from eating their horses. After all, we eat chickens and cows, but neither is endangered.John Brown did nothing wrong.

People here eat dogs too though. It's much more understandable when dogs are allowed to roam freely and aren't spade or neutered (usually).John Brown did nothing wrong.

Sheep are horribly dumb and smelly, and make nice t-shirts and lamb chops. Their only purpose is to die. (And they seem to realize this and try to hasten it in the most annoying ways possible ... )
