But I don't rightly know, since horse-riding is cruel, and it's a stupid "sport" open only to folk with too much money, so there's that.
POE'S LAW, POE'S LAW, POE'S LAW.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's not even open only to folk with too much money, I mean, right, keeping a horse does cost money, but I know people who earn jackshit and still have them. Sure, you aren't getting to top with horse that has not been bred for performance and without training since childhood, but what's the difference between that and the rest of Olympics?

The rest of the Olympics doesn't involve forcing an animal to perform for peoples' amusement.

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.

I'll fight for that horse's right to become a delicious piece of jerky.

Seriously though, horseflesh is delicious.

Reality TV is awful.

I don't mind animals for food. Meat is good.

Oh, I know exactly what that memes. And it memes I wasn't sure if you're insane, but apparently you are.

The rest of the Olympics doesn't involve forcing an animal to perform for peoples' amusement.
By the Emperor, have you ever been near a horse? Forcing? Good fucking luck forcing an horse to do shit for you, especially such difficult stuff you have at Olympics. You'd lose the Olympic and possibly even your health because the horse would murder the fuck out of you if you were evil murderous overlord. Horses are half tonne mountains of muscle, equipped with hard hooves and pretty nasty bite... and the guy who supposedly is forcing it to do stuff? He's on top of it, in pretty unstable saddle with a piece of string to hold himself onto (not really effective really, the reins aren't made for that) and keep two wobbly sticks to put his boots in.
I mean, fuck, right, there is proably some pain and pushing the limits but it doesn't really differ from what human athletes do (but you would be far from reality if you thought it was only on the horse, competetive riding (and actually riding at all) is, pretty suprisingly actually (I had no idea either before) fucking exhausting) and the horse is fucking fine. The relationship between the rider and the horse is usually more of companionship, those aren't really random horses. Most of them have grown up with their riders (God Emperor, if I had someone to talk to me as people talk to their horses...) and if the horses are provided by the competition (which I honestly have never heard of, but that might be a thing on high-level ones) they proably are treated way better than their riders anyways.

Goddamnit, as a Pole (I wish we got our equestrian traditions back and running strong) and someone who rides horses I am literally personally offended by the idea that riding on horses is somehow cruel. Fuck, usually it's the horse that wants to ride around more than the human (who doesn't really have that much time while horses basically only have one thing they do for enjoyment, which is PRANCING AROUND HAPPILY BECAUSE THEY ARE HAPPY TO RUN AND THE DUDES ON THEIR BACKS GIVE THEM APPLES THEY LIKE APPLES THEY LIKE PRANCING THEY LIKE THE DUDES. LIFE IS GREAT) I mean, right, if you make it cruel but I am very fucking sure that would not go unnoticed by either the horse or the overseeing organizations and the rider would be punished.

Also, technically, humans are animals too and I could point at a few countries where winning at the Olympics is quite literally a matter of life and death, so... proably there are countries where they treat horses with cruelty, but they proably also do the same thing with humans *COUGH* china *COUGH COUGH*.
I'll fight for that horse's right to become a delicious piece of jerky.

Aaaand that's something I don't really approve of. Only mongoloid barbarians eat their horses, civilized Winged Hussars care for them, buy them armour and then fuck mongoloids in ass with lances because mongoloids ate all their horses. Though if the horse is already dead/dying and you're really hungry I suppose it's acceptable. But killing horses just for the meat because it tastes good? Fuck. No.
Especially if the horse in question is going to be made into fucking wieners as it's customary when they are sold to butcher shops. Throw a whole horse, some other random animals and plastic in, sasuages come out. Not even a dime of respect.

Mongols ran a bigger empire than Poland ever did.

Donkeys are prob not as delicious.

Anyway, horseflesh is very special, akin to a very lean, premium beef, and surprisingly cheap depending on how you get it.
Some people say they can't tell the difference between beef and horse.
Some people are complete mongrels >:U

And the only horsepeople I have some fondness of are magyars, mongols be damned with their sour milk drinking ways.

Empire of fucking steppes, deserts and a lot of fucking nothing. And once we got the cavalry thing going we cut them down like wheat. THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVE!

You're an ass.

Magyars are okay horsepeople they gave us Hussars and we made Winged Hussars.

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 :P cheeky mare.

That effectively describes the life of a human cubicle worker. The main difference is that I don't get fed for it.

I even have to haul 100lb of stuff home, all the time.
