1·2 months agoThey value the horses as objects and property, not as individual beings with their own unique experience of the world.

1·2 months agoYes, and horses have been abused historically. The two are intertwined and inseparable.

1·2 months agoIt’s not. I was trying to draw a similarity between how little “farm” animals are valued and how little these people value horses. If the meme was about a funny farmed cow name I would’ve made a similar comment.

16·2 months agoYeah, and the Wendy’s might as well serve the flesh of the slaughtered horses as well.
Dismissing serious, actual life or death concerns with statements like “sir this is a Wendy’s” only serve to further silence a group of individuals suffering without a voice.
When I initially commented on this, literally none of the 20+ comments acknowledged the horrible reality the horse in the photo is/was forced to endure.
If I posted a photo of a starving child with a funny name and everyone was simply laughing at the meme, would you say nothing?

10·2 months agoRight, but the animal would not have been named that if the people breeding these horses saw them as individuals instead of objects. “Just laughing at the name” completely ignores literally everything else connected to the name.

59·2 months agoWhile everybody is laughing at the meme, hundreds (if not thousands) of horses are killed every year simply because they cannot race or are not profitable, many as young as two years old. https://horseracingwrongs.org/
To mention nothing of other cruel practices, among these forced separation from their mothers, nose chains, blinders, whips, over breeding, etc.
Breeding these animals is not funny, it is not a joke, and these breeders are awful people.

Thanks, gonna get these to watch soon.
