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

      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.

        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.
