Dogs have been domesticated for like 5x as long as horses, they never stopped being man's best friend

Even cats have been domesticated for longer than horses.

Eh, they domesticated themselves.

sleeper agents, the lot of 'em

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Yes, but actually no. WE didn't domesticate cats. They domesticated themselves so they could reap the benefits of being our pets.

Damn that sucks, I’d stay but I already made plans with my dawgs

As someone who has had to take care of both, I much prefer the dog. One, they're more cuddle loving, and two... they shit less. Way less.

They also can't kill you instantly because a random noise scared them.

Not only that but people are also stealing their tranquilizers

Guilty of war crimes, I am

The invention of the automobile was probably the best thing that ever happened to horses! They went from slaves to pampered darlings

Somebody hasn't read animal farm

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All horses should read animal farm, and rise up against both long and short pigs.

PIGS SHOULD REMAIN AS THE SOURCE OF BACON!

Also, people eat horses a lot more often than they eat dogs.

There’s something about the _____ of a horse that is good for the inside of a man
