Did automobiles replacing horses, diminishing horse population, diminishing horse suffering -- as a consequence of work forced upon the animals. Is that moral win for horses; less suffering? Although their population is vastly smaller than 130 years ago.

Their population was unnaturally high and it’s better to not even exist in the first place than to suffer

This guy PETAs.

This guy wants to be born into slavery and die from exhaustion.

[-] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 0 points 9 months ago

I'd rather be born into slavery than have some arrogant self-aggrandizing narcissistic cunt decide wether my life is worth living.

How's that different from the human experience?

You're implying that literally all horses were abused, always.

That's incredibly stupid.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago

He said nothing about abuse, only suffering.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

So literally all horses suffer, always?

Have you ever worked with horses? (I'm assuming no, but I have to ask.)
