i think it might also be the “these animals are part of a non-food related industry that nets some people bajillions of dollars” factor.
horselovers tend to be a bit higher up the socio-economic ladder than piglovers, and thus more likely to have the ear of congress.

so that’s Still quite embarrassing, but in a different way.

it makes me wonder about dogs and cats. is the stigma there just way too high, so anyone who sends fido or felix to asia has to be even more hush hush than someone who rounds up flicka? or is there just alReady a law, and horses were later in coming because we already slaughter them for glue or something?
