I guess the horse thing gets me when they're being ridden for sport to entertain large crowds
Perhaps that is the source of the problem. The crowds are where the money comes from. Its what makes it a multi billion dollar industry in the case of horses and a multi million pound industry for dogs. If there was no money in it, people would only do it for the love and fun.
I guess the horse thing gets me when they're being ridden for sport to entertain large crowds. And as we've seen, when the horse doesn't comply some humans think punching them is an ok thing to do (possibly an outlier but I don't trust humans)
I bet there are horse owners who have a great relationship with their horse and the horse does love being ridden and live a healthy happy life.
