Yet should spirituality justify suffering when humans have long known how to kill more “humanely”?

The place of horses in the modern world
Do you think using horses for work, sport, and entertainment is morally justified today?* you can select 2 answers

Critics point to horse racing, tourism, and carriage transport as examples of violence disguised as folklore and tradition. Opponents, however, forget that humans also work hard every day, often in much worse conditions, and no one calls for such work to be banned. So is it really about empathy toward horses, or rather an attempt to silence our own guilty conscience?
