Excuse me a moment. Now I don't claim to be an expert on the Islamic faith but what about the horse? Now I did a little bit of searching and found this transcript. The last quote is from the Qur'an I believe and the first two are from a website on what you should and should not eat in the Muslim culture but it still fits, especially since horse is "needed for Jihad".
"As far as the consumption of horse-meat is concerned, Imam Abu Hanifa (Allah have mercy on him) considers is somewhat disliked (makruh tanzihan) due to its honour and due to the fact that a horse is needed in Jihad. Imam Abu Yusuf and Imam Muhammad (Allah have mercy on them both) consider it Halal, and it is said that Imam Abu Hanifa also retreated to this opinion. Thus, it would be permitted to consume horse-meat, although better to avoid.
With regards to the meat of a donkey and mule, Allah Most High says:
“And (He has created) horses, mules, and donkeys, for you to ride and use for show; and He has created (other) things of which you have no knowledge.” (Surah al-Nahl, V: 8)"
There are other animals in the site which you may want to look at so here is the site, hope it helps:
