While 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.
Yeah, 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?
Right, 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.

Sir this is a Wendy’s

Horse is actually quite tasty, had some in Japan when I was younger.
If a Wendy’s near me was serving horse I would order it.
They’re laughing at the name not that people breed racehorses??

Yeah but horse names have always been a tad bit weird historically. Like who looks at a horse and goes “Hmmm yes you shall be Bucephalus”?
spent the weekend playing horsey game, if I was rich I would definitely be part of the problem.
Title
Rather than breeding horses for winning, I began a breeding line just for weight to sell for glue.
Ended up with a breed of 3000lbs zebra with heads instead of legs to sell to the glue factory.
