For me it’s more the fact that having a SBS foals gives a dash of unintentional neglect to any other babies the fluffy parents have. The fact that it isn’t killed like the runts when born is also sus to me

the main problem with SBS foals seems to be that they drink waaaay too much milk
in an ideal scenario where the fluffy has enough food (ie. human owner) the SBS foal wouldn’t leave the other babies with less milk (though ideally the human owner would step in & prevent the SBS foal from becoming obese) an owner would also manage the mother fluffy’s behavior to be sure the other foals are getting enough attention.
I imagine the SBS foal wouldn’t play like a regular foal & would just stick by their mummah most of the time (the issue is that they usually spend that time just drinking more milk, and that causes the problems)
the thing is, everyday life is not ideal. and fluffies are profoundly stupid. they have what they need to properly care for an SBS foal (unconditional love), they just can’t turn it off when they need to (tough love, cutting off milk, encouraging active play, forcing the foal to do things it finds uncomfortable while still being there & supporting it)
Fluffies were designed to love unconditionally, and think that “huggies an wuv” are the solution to all problems, so they just heap attention and milk onto the struggling foal, even to the detriment of the rest of their babies (but the fact is, an SBS foal needs a firmer, smarter hand than a fluffy can give)
They’d get culled in the wild for hogging milk and/or being a “dummy”baby.
In domestic settings they’re culled for being annoying (re. heavily disabled)

I’m usually a fan of ironic abuse similar to “folly of hope” series, but I liked the way you gave the old brown fluffy in your work a peaceful retirement. Give ‘‘em hug box!

Hugbox.
Use the cute aggression it causes as a form of torture edging/chastity.
Then, if in America, keep a rifle with an affixed bayonet next to the door and “stand your ground” against anything, human or Fluffy, that rings the doorbell or knocks.

Pillow the mare and force it force it to watch you torture the foal to death. Ideally, the foal dies believing the mare could have saved it at any point, but chose not to.

Has brain idea! Baby innocently does bad things like pooping outside the box or wandering into places it shouldn’t. Owner finds mess. Owner punishes mother for not keeping baby in line, but leaves baby alone. Mother is miserable, but keeps soldiering on for baby’s sake. Baby remains happily oblivious to all of this. Repeat ad infinitum.

Abuse.
I had to do a double take, the way the foal is positioned and placed makes it look a bit like it was trying to dive back into her vag lol.

Obviously this is the perfect set up for an experiment- most SBS foals suffer from over coddling and are obese from excessive milk intake and lack of activity. Is that the only option for an SBS foal or with some ‘incentive’ can they become more like a somewhat normal ‘chirpy’? Rig up a harness for mummah and her ‘sensibib’ babbeh- carefully monitor the foal’s milk intake and once it exceeds the amount it needs, connect the batteries in each harness so that both mummah and babbeh receive a painful electric shock when the foal attempts to nurse further. Let mummah know this is teach both her and her babbeh, and its for the foal’s own good. If the experiment is successful, then we can move on to ‘enforced playtime’.
ABUSE- I mean, SCIENCE!
*note- science is not responsible for any severe psychological issues occuring to either foal or mother from repeated electrical shocks, unexpected reduction in cuddles, and enforced physical exertion

I vote abuse. lobotomies or make so she is trapped in her body and let her watch the foal slowly starve to death

Awful things happening to nonexistent annoying animals is different from people saying disabilities very similar to real ones make one worth torturing, when exactly that still happens to disabled humans all the time so it’s uncomfortably close to real attitudes: Almost a third of disabled children and teenagers face abuse, global study finds | Children | The Guardian

Yes. It is. But guess what? It’s happening to nonexistent annoying animals. Not one person here is advocating for it to happen to real people. So what’s your issue? Learn to separate fiction from reality before you go around griping about nonexistent annoying issues.
