      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.

          There was also the two world wars to consider in terms of horse deaths. Of course those horses died for a noble cause: helping humans slaughter each other in even larger numbers.
