In Civilization 7 Horses resource gives +1 damage to Cavalry units in Ancient and Exploration Eras, but in the Modern era Horses resource gives +6 Happiness instead.
Owning a horse is like owning a boat. It's not going to grant you happiness.
Considering horses have the possibility of being loyal lifelong pets I'd say they can very well give happiness
They say the two happiest days in a horse owner's life are the day they buy the horse and the day the horse tramples them to death.
For most of us yes. The decent amount of money that allows us to live comfortably gets real limited when we stretch out further with stuff like a boat and a horse. But for those that got lucky in life to comfortably afford it, a boat and a horse arent seen the money drains since they have more to give. This lets them enjoy the activities that comes with a boat and horse more.
Germany recently declared horses are no longer work animals but recreational, hiking vet prices astronomically. Also, horses might be driven around now but I'm sure there were more of them when 90% of the population were farmers and they all needed some of them.
Quality life vs. quantity life. Humans should take note.
Humans are the ones who produce the things needed for a higher quality life. The problem is the 1% of humans at the top who steal the goods everyone else makes, not the majority of humans who contribute to making the world a better place.
How does this hike vet prices astronomically, through taxes?
Vets aren't organised as a free market in Germany. Instead, prices are set by the federal government through the "Gebührenordnung für Tierärztinnen und Tierärzte (GOT)".
when horses turned from a commodity to a luxury good it also resulted in a massive horse genocide. anyway, buy my AI app
I see what you're going for re: automation, but calling this a genocide seems weird to me. Then scaling down cattle farming would also be genocide. There's no horse culture that got eradicated, just less breeding.
They didn't just scale down. Literal tons of horses got slaughtered around the turn of the century and great depression.

If there's any animal that deserves our respect and our care, it's horses.

So horses and Harley Davidson motorcycles have that in common since they most often seen riding on a trailer?
