… said every slave owner. You have an interest in believing that. This is a social animal (ie an intelligent animal like us) that was created explicitly to have its interests ignored and overridden. If it is a rescue, it has suffered because it has been treated as property from before it was born. No sanctuary can give it the life its ancestors were selected for. It will never be able to advance its own interests as a free creature. Would you rather be able to pick your own mate, career, friends, raise your own children, suffer on their behalf, or would you rather live your life in a 2 star hotel room with none of that autonomy?
The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection. This animal is clearly suffering emotional neglect. THAT WAS YOUR ENTIRE POINT, was it not??
Bruh. Chill. This horse is healthy and happy and well cared for. He just wants to be the center of attention at all times. We all know animals that are attention whores. None of the horses are suffering from emotional neglect or any other kind of neglect or abuse.
