I tried, of course.

“Horse meat is commonly eaten in many countries in Europe and Asia. It is not a generally available food in some English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia, the United States and English Canada.”

Dogs served in war at least as much as horses, and are currently doing so in larger numbers.

Jazira: What does this mean?

Frank T. Hopkins: Shunka Wakan? Big dog. There’s no word in Sioux for horse. When the Indians saw the first one the Spanish brought over, they didn’t know what the hell it was. When they saw how it could run, carry a man through battle, become his friend for life, well, they figured it had to be a sacred animal.

Jazira: Indeed.
