USA

The article seems to contain contradictory statements about USA. The section Production states that USA is one of the ten largest producers of horse meat, while the section United States states that the production has been outlawed since 2007. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 19:04, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction re consumption in Mexico

The Production section, citing The Alberta Horse Welfare Report, indicates that Mexico was the 2nd biggest horse meat-consuming country in 2005. The Mexico section says "it is not used or consumed in Mexico". Nurg (talk) 08:53, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is no contradiction. Figures are for production, not consumption—the production usually exported for human consumption, and not a practice in Mexico. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 02:35, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contradictory information regarding Canada

The article claims that horse meat is eaten by primarily English Canadian despite later claiming it's taboo among anglos. Horse meat is famously a French delicacy. 174.91.159.49 (talk) 17:31, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Asia-Pacific

Australia: a bunch of WP:NEWS-like minor notions. Needs shortening.

Mongolia and Kazakhstan, on the other hand, are... under-represented despite being really into eating horses. Needs some detailed recipes. 81.89.66.133 (talk) 13:18, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
