Automobiles replacing horses: ethical consequences (reddthat.com)

submitted 9 months ago by cqthca@reddthat.com to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

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.

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

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

That escalated quickly

I don't think he wants to be my friend.

How's that different from the human experience?

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

That's incredibly stupid.

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.)
