Yeah European cultures have had a major aversion to eating dogs and horses going back to ancient times, which probably isn’t totally unrelated to these animals’ roles and hunting companions and, generally, as things you don’t want to eat.

Like, folks generally raise/d pigs, goats, sheep, and cattle for the purposes of eating them (and/or raising them for dairy and wool, etc). But dogs and horses are/were generally valued more for things other than as sources of food.
