Should dogs, cats, or horses be sold as food
I know they are in some parts of the world, especially parts of Asia and in the case of horses some countries in Europe.
None are commercially available in the US though.
My feelings are.. horses yes, dogs and cats no.
Horses are basically ungulate herbivores with about the same intelligence as cows or sheep.
Dogs and cats are far more intelligent and for this reason I am opposed to it.
What are some other opinions?

Horses are more intelligent than cows and especially sheep; they're also possibly smarter than cats. So if your sole reason on deciding if an animal should be eaten or not is I.Q., you should be against chowing down on a equine-burger.

When it comes to eating mammals; it's best to stick to herbivores for taste purposes.

Horses are NOT more intelligent than cats and it's certainly debatable as to whether or not they are smarter than cows or sheep, there is no evidence to support your claim. Horses may be more trainable than either, but that doesn't make them smarter.

If it is vital for our survival. Otherwise, no they should not be sold as food.
If there is no need to eat horse, dog or cat, there is no need to kill and sell them.

They are all composed of eukaryotic cells and are delicious. If they aren't meant for food, then why do they taste so good?

They do not taste good to some vegetarians. I bet there are more out there that does not like them.

Wrong... and if "trainable" isn't at least some means of measuring intelligence in respect to animals; where do you stand in saying cats are certainly smarter?
Also, you should be against eating pigs as pigs are more intelligent than dogs as tests indicate.

I'm an animal friend, and I do not think killing animals in-case we need food later is a right thing to do..

There's technically no "need" to eat any meat.

unless you want a healthy amount of protein (and other essential nutrients) that is most easily processed by the human body through the consumption of meat.

For that reason I condone the eating of mentally deficient humans.

Terrible sentence, but at the heart of it I believe there to be much, as the French say, le BS.

You know that meat contains vital nutrients and vitamins that are necessary for survival?
And besides, it tastes great.
I'll have some gravy with my veal, please.
