LARD has replaced snowdwarf!

It does have a ridiculous premise, but it mixes being quite funny with being super morbid. At least the American one did... though I do believe the Aussie one was written by the same guy, seein' as he's Wilfred.

It doesn't really say anything. You're not part of the horse, why should they give a shit if you fall off and hurt yourself

I challenge you Kot.

Go find a wild horse and ride it, see how much it likes it. Feed it an apple if you like.

Once you get out the hospital, you can tell us how it went.

I find it difficult to accept that it's not cruel to sit atop a horse with 100lbs+ of weight as a person, plus however much the equipment weighs and essentially demand it does things by pulling its head about and squeezing it's ribs, then keep it in a box 'til the next time.

The fact the horse has to be taught to be comfortable doing these things should tell you something. Perhaps that when you point a finger at someone questioning their sanity, there are four others pointing back at you cheeky mare.

That proves nothing. Any wild animal will react negatively and/or unpredictably if you try to treat it like a domesticated one. That includes humans, by the by.

We also have to be taught to be comfortable doing all sorts of stuff, including tolerating 100+lbs of person riding us.

How does this make it not cruel?

Well, I sit in a box and get made to perform tasks with irritating prompts and jarring alerts. I do not leave this box unless I am asked to do so. I have become accustomed to these things through repetition.

No-one gives me any goddam fruit, so I guess my point is fuck those horses why do they get apples.

Horses are big and can kick you in the face.

I think you have your answer.

I am 250 lbs. and stand at 6"4' are you telling me that all I need to do at work is start fly kicking people in the teeth to start getting my due of fresh produce.

I'm sure you'd get some apples after that.

... wrf do your bosses make you do?

Nah I just have opinions. I'm against animal cruelty, but cruelty is subjective to some extent.

I'm also a massive hypocrite, but don't tell anyone.
