Disneyland is a progressive company which is why dated and senseless practices that come at the expense of sentient beings freedom and well being should be removed from the park. Disneyland makes horses pull trolleys with humans on the trolley, all for entertainment. They do not need to do so at all because the park has so many great forms of entertainment that do not exploit or use sentient beings. What is done is not in the best interest of the horses. The horses do not need to be bred into existence to be treated like slaves or to be used as a form of transportation. It is not essential at all. They "train" the horses by exposing them to loud and stressful noises such as drums, tambourines, clapping, jumping etc. They do so to "desensitize" them from reacting to the triggers. The fact that this is being normalized is very upsetting.

Right next to the horse pulled trolleys they have cars that transport you to other sections of the park. Those cars do not use or exploit anyone. There is a driver who willingly chooses to do the job and gets paid for it. Humans can consent to a job, non human animals cannot. They are forced and it is all they have been taught.

I spoke to a cast member in the guest services section of the park. He told me that the horses were bred to pull heavy loads otherwise they get restless. The only reason why those horses are bred is to feed demand because some places such as Disneyland, are willing to obtain the horses to use them as slaves just how a circus would use animals for human entertainment. Breeders know there is a spot to fill which is why they do it.

Their physical capabilities are not a justification for the exploitation or objectification of those sentient beings. Sanctuaries rescue several horses that come from different backgrounds some of which include horses that were forced to perform for human entertainment. Sanctuaries do everything in the best interest of the horses and do not force them to perform for human entertainment as it is not essential for their well being. Horses can get exercise and be happy without having to be in a loud and busy environment like Disneyland. Disneyland has huge loud crowds and other noises that are not ideal for any animal to be subjected to.

Disneyland has countless kids that visit the park daily and by them having the horse drawn trolleys they are teaching kids that the use of sentient beings is essential or acceptable. Disneyland is called "the happiest place on earth", but where is the happiness for those horses? Regardless of the conditions that the horses live in, regardless of the treatment, they are still being objectified and viewed as a means of transportation which is totally not essential in modern society.

The objectification opens doors for other forms of abuse which is why there are unfortunate events that occur to horses at other establishments that use horses for human entertainment. Disneyland can set an example to others by removing the horse drawn trolleys. Removing the horse drawn trolleys from the park would not harm anyone and like stated prior there are still several forms of entertainment the park has to offer that do not exploit sentient beings. Disneyland can send the horses they currently use for human entertainment, to sanctuaries. Sanctuaries do everything in the best interest of the animals and do not force them to perform for human entertainment.
