Did automobiles replacing horses, diminishing horse population, diminishing horse suffering -- as a consequence of work forced upon the animals. Is that moral win for horses; less suffering? Although their population is vastly smaller than 130 years ago.

Hold on my neighbour owns a horse, I'll go and ask him..

Edit, I asked but he just kinda stared at me then started eating hay

Your neighbor has a strange diet.

you got that right. pronoun antecedent issues

I wonder if some languages have a way to avoid it. Maybe different pronouns for the subject and object?

Not knowing anything, I would guess some languages just don't have pronouns or our equivalent

You should have expected that of course. No one can talk to a horse.

only donkeys can articulate complaints to their owners. it is in the bible, which has to be true or civilization would be pointless. /s
