Cow slaughter is illegal in India due to its sacred being.

Is eating a cow wrong here in the states?

People in France still eat horse meat too. And rabbit is still a popular item on German dinner tables. Where is all the whining about that?

Maybe I'd try it if I visited a country where they eat it. Maybe I'd try snake too. But then again, maybe I wouldn't.

You go into a grocery store in Canada and buy Horsemeat, no need to head to France. It is also very popular in the Netherlands.

Not at all.

There are several tribal cultures that practice cannibalism for many reasons that they validate according to the style and purpose of their culture.

He was going off about being hypocritical, and I was pointing out that you can not have your cake and eat it too concerning relativistic positions.

Now certainly, I will not object to your picking and choosing that which you define as moral (we all define our limits as to what is and isn't), but you can't take that position and claim others to be ethnocentric.
