It is raw too. Crosses the line for me like shark fin. I am a foodie by all accounts but somethings are just too much for me.

Raw meat is delicious. Ever had sushi?

I would say the bigger problem would be the quality of how the animal was raised.

I'd imagine lightly medicated would be unlikely.

I am not eating a dog, a cat or a horse. I do not judge anyone who does, just not for me.

I am also ruling out panda bear.

I have had many raw meats and more sushi than I can remember, Osaka in Vegas is best, actually prefer it at least rare in most animals. That said I am unaware of any organic, grass fed Wagyu style horse meat farms producing this meat, which would be a second cause for concern, the first, for me anyway, is that it was a horse and I like horses.

Agreed.

But to not eat it because it's served raw seems silly.

I used to love many meats raw.

But after my first basic immunology/infectious diseases of animals courses, I never ate raw meat again, and I never will. Way too risky in 21st century. And believe me, I avoid a lot of other uncooked stuff from "certain restaurants", even fruits/veggy type stuff.

No, I would never eat horse meat. But it is high in protein, low in fat. Popular other countries, of course, as a protein source.
