    While everybody is laughing at the meme, hundreds (if not thousands) of horses are killed every year simply because they cannot race or are not profitable, many as young as two years old. https://horseracingwrongs.org/

    To mention nothing of other cruel practices, among these forced separation from their mothers, nose chains, blinders, whips, over breeding, etc.

    Breeding these animals is not funny, it is not a joke, and these breeders are awful people.

        Yeah, and the Wendy’s might as well serve the flesh of the slaughtered horses as well.

        Dismissing serious, actual life or death concerns with statements like “sir this is a Wendy’s” only serve to further silence a group of individuals suffering without a voice.

        When I initially commented on this, literally none of the 20+ comments acknowledged the horrible reality the horse in the photo is/was forced to endure.

        If I posted a photo of a starving child with a funny name and everyone was simply laughing at the meme, would you say nothing?

    Got a cousin who works with horses and horse breeding and all that jazz.

    Likely that this name is just a portmanteau of the mare and sire of this particular horse.

        I… fuckin…

        One of the grandparents was “TOUCHDOWN KID” and the other “LOOKIN GOOD MR”. From that the mother was “LOOKIN TOUCHABLE” for some god awful, unknown reason. The other side also made a similar blunder with a less “sensical” process.

        “KID CLU” and “TOOTSY ROLLS REDFORD” are OK names I guess , but for some reason, they called the child “KIDS CLASSIC STYLE” which, IDK, could be ok? But then why combine them in such an awful way? Also, “Lookin Classic (Style)” would be a WAY BETTER NAME

            Either this is an insane fake, or these people are insane. It doesn’t even show pedigree really, like the comment above says. There’s literally nothing left of the names by the third generation, and it’s mostly gone by the second. You might be able to guess the parents, if you’re lucky, but nothing beyond that.

    iirc the horse names must be unique and may not contain numbers and stuff. And since virtually all real names are taken, random words are all that is left. (that doesnt explain this name though)
