An unfinished story. I wanted to write a story about a stallion used for breeding.

Hm. I hadnt thought about fluffy mares in farrowing crates… Might have to play with that some.

Lol, this is like the “free range chicken” schtick where they got like 10k in a warehouse and a single dog door to a 5 foot screened in enclosure to imply they are frolicking in grass.

God damn it, @ezpete took the words out of my mouth. This isn’t some happy fluffy friendly, stress-free paradise where they get all their needs and want handed to them on a silver platter. The company that runs this place only say they’re hugbox because people are too gullible to fact check to see if the claims are correct.
I do questioned how effective of those crate on fluffies though.

The farrowing pen effectiveness is dependent on how intelligent the babbeh is - if the babbeh is smart/old enough to get out of the way of the mummah, then she can’t hurt it.
In real life farrowing pens, the sow can just about lie down and the pen holds just a single mother. The piglets can feed whenever the sow lets them and the design prevents her from crushing the piglets to death in most circumstances.
With fluffies, the babbehs are emotionally needy, which the mare can exploit to intentionally harm them - the accidental crushing/stomping is minimised except when they’re in the blind chirpy stage.

Are you telling me that industrial abuser farms are better for raising foals?

It depends on what you’re raising the foals for.
If it’s for good temperament, well trained foals intended to be a family pet, then industrial farms are completely wrong.
If it’s for keeping foals alive so they can be raised into optimal meat cattle, then farrowing pens are ideal, as their mental and emotional wellbeing is inconsequential to their end use. The foal just has to survive childhood and grow big enough for slaughter.
If the farm is just focused on generating pretty colour foals for sale, then there’s considerable overlap with the meat industry end; the farm doesn’t care about the temperament, it just doesn’t want the good colour ones to be accidentally killed by the mummah. It does have to take steps to make sure the good colour ones or alicorns aren’t intentionally killed by the mummah, but it’s entirely up to the farm policies as to how that’s managed.

Well damn that was a good one.
I’m surprised it hasn’t been done more often. I always pictured industrial abuse to look like one of those PETA videos

A lot of the older ones (i.e. booru-era content) are based on things like that.

Complaining about giving wicky cweanies
She clearly isnt worthy of being a mummah anyway. thats such a key bonding moment, would even consider taking the babbehs before they get wickys so they wont even recognise the mummah
