Seeing as like 75% of people would save their pet over a stranger this seems overdue.

Surely there’s sure some left-leaning b!tch behind this

The modern Left... An endless source of comedy.

Like in certain foreign languages where common nouns all have a gender assigned to them?

 

[kface]

I can't imagine what is wrong with this.  Animals have rich emotional lives and intelligence.

There’s an obvious joke here that I’m shocked hasn’t been made yet.

Really disappointed in the OP's link.  I wanted to read the comments of people justifying that opinion and there were none.

The comments are a little like the PSF. Many are actually interesting and thought provoking, while some are purely trollish entertainment.

Now that delivered.  I would love to respond to the idiocy but they have mastered it.

I'm not sure what there is to argue about here.

"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make her drink."

"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."

The first one seems way better.

assuming you know the gender-  is it ok now to randomly lift a horse's tail to see what sex he/she is?   Can a horse file a sexual harassment case?   "KIck twice if that man touched you in an uncomfortable way...  "

What if the horse identifies as a raccoon?
