i heard that it is legal to harvest horses for meat consumption.
I am not saying purchase to slaughter, but if you already own them that it is ok, by law.

even if you were starving?

    When I was driving through Fairfield, CA on the way to Davis in the 80's, I saw a restaurant named Mr. Ed's. It made me vow never to get a hamburger there.

    Been there, done that. It's a little lean, but it tastes good and is perfectly fine as long as the animal was healthy.

    If you aren't a vegetarian the only objections are emotional. I can't see any difference between horse and chicken let alone horse and cow.

    If I was hungry enough and there were no other options, sure I'd eat it. But I've worked with horses most of my life, it would be like eating dog to me. I assume it would taste fairly similar to beef, but that's where the similarities end. They're nothing like chickens and cows. I've never heard of someone training a cow to come when you call it's name. Or to roll over on command. Or sit, or lay down. You can train a horse to just about anything you can train a dog to do, and a lot more on top of that.
