Ok, so this was a lot funnier than I would have expected. I love absurdist humor and this caught me by surprise.

I hope the horse was alright though
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks ago
Of course he is! He’s with Jeebus now.

Someone please feel free to enlighten me, but my horse riding friends say this is pretty fucked up and not something the horse would ever get used to.
Apytele@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
When you read the headline you’re thinking the parachute didn’t open, but this raises the possibility that it just had a heart attack.
ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I think the problem may have been that a horse doesn’t know how to pull the cord to deploy the parachute. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that.
AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Oh, no, I think based on other articles the horse died of other causes. But the consensus amongst people I know is that this was just fucked up animal torture on some level.
Like, I’m fine if the horse was also fine and seemed into skydiving. I just have zero evidence of that.

This reminds me of the story of engineering students who wanted to test their parachute on the bunny mascot of their department. They threw the poor lagomorph from the top of a building.
The parachute held, the lil guy’s heart did not.

I’m sure there’s probably one horse somewhere who would actually enjoy skydiving, but I don’t see an ethical way to find said horse.

Same with any activity really

Of course there is! Just ask him!

Horses do not get used to unfamiliar environments. They have an environment they like and anything else kinda stresses them out. They’re big dumb skittish animals that long for quiet open fields of grass with nice firm rocky soil.
So yeah, taking a horse and throwing it on an aircraft would spook the bajesus out of it. Throwing it off again would probably scare it to death, if the landing, however gentle, doesn’t kill it

I’m hoping that this is The Daily Mash or The Onion or something….it doesn’t even look like horses like it on roads.

So is there like canonically a horse heaven?
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I think so. There’s at least one horse god

Did they accidentally give him the backpack full of camping supplies instead of the parachute?
Moose@moose.best 3 weeks ago
No, they changed the pack colour for the camping stuff last time this happened. Unfortunately they forgot to change the pack colour for the portable anvil as well…

Damn, ACME did it again.

Step one, cover horse’s eyes and plug ears. Step 2, walk horse onto large airplane. Step 3, get said airplane up into the air. Step 4, run with horse towards the open back end of airplane until the horse exits the vehicle. Step 5… Hold up, did we miss the one step where you would strap that large backpack over there to its back? Hmm. Step 6 purchase second horse, specifically a live one.

toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
they asked him if he wanted to jump. he said, “neigh”
this is a clear case of horse-icide.
