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?
It’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.
Sir this is a Wendy’s

More than thousands of cattle are killed every year, too. Why is slaughtering horses worse than slaughtering cattle?

They value the horses a lot, if they can earn money on the race track. But at some point their value is in their meat.
They value the horses as objects and property, not as individual beings with their own unique experience of the world.
The world is a sad enough place without pointing out the obvious.
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.
