Yup. Horse is kinda mentally between a deer and a cow to me.
But Bunnie is the premo meat as far as I am concerned. We raised meat rabbits when I was a kid, so no biggie.

But no squirrel?

Horse My neighbors had as pets,.
The time I had it, thought about it for a second. I was in Belize broke and hungry, was given a meal of horse and cabbage stew. It was a little greasy but quite enjoyable. I was also given a gift of horse jerky and dried papaya. Got me clear to Northern Mexico till I ran out. Was much appreciated.
That line could move all the way to the left pretty Quick if you are hungry enough.

When working in Hawaii in "71" I'd eat lunch "kaukau" with the wahine. (Philippino women)

they'd spread newspaper out and sit in a circle. Everone would put there food in the middle And you could sample local cuisine.
When I'd ask what I was eating they'd laugh.
I found out dog was on the menu along with other surprises.
I was there for two months and eat lunch with them most of the time. I never got sick & eat some great food.

If ya swapped that Horse with that Rabbit and left the line at the horses left side, Id agree. I have had Horse before. If I had my drothers, Id not but it was fine.

But as Emmit says Rabbit is fine table fare!!! We shoot allot of them and also raised them for food. Not much has as pleasant a memory as Mommas Rabbit Pie baking in the oven with fruit pie desert!

Bottom line for me, Its all how we was brought up. They are all animals and we are higher up the food chain so ALL are food.

After four years in the Ecuadorian Andes as a missionary, my notion of food expanded quite a bit. I did eat "chui"(guinea pig) and mystery meat. I made several long trips down to the tribes in the Rain Forest, I ate monkey and many different kinds of birds, reptiles and small mammals. Now, I am not the least bit picky about what I eat, for which my wife is grateful.

It depends entirely on how hungry I am.....any of them is better than starving, but for everyday diet I will go right of the red line. Yep the only rabbit I ever ate was horrible.....wouldn't miss them at all.

I'm a horse lover. Yes, they're tasty, but not delicious. I'll take beef, bison, deer, elk and many others ahead of horse. Also, much prefer rabbit to chicken. Rabbits are cleaner and less susceptible to disease. Not crazy about eating land based carnivores; particularly any form of canis lupus.

I like my bacon, barbecue, and the occasional steak, but I eat more and more veggies and way less meat the older I get. I’m 6’-5” and the last weigh in at the Drs office I was 203 lb w/my prosthetic lower leg on. Weighed 260-270 fifty years ago in HS.

Two eggs at breakfast, veggies and carbs at lunch, fish or lean meat mostly at supper with everything else.

To each their own, weight control is hard, gotta do what works for you. For what it’s worth I’m rarely hungry feeling.

If you move the rabbit to the far right side of that line-up; you can leave that line right where it is drawn.

Humans have teeth for a reason.

Back in the 1990s, I dated a Catholic-Buddhist, she claimed to be a vegetarian for religious reasons. She once told me she would draw the line at anything with more brain power than a mollusk...unless she was mad at God, then it's time for Prime Rib.
