POV/activism
editThe creator/main editor of this article (which is the same editor who earlier wrote the French version [1]) has confused coverage of the topic of "horse welfare" with the "horse welfare movement" (as well as mixing in a good deal of animal rights, animal rights movement, and animal ethics) and have presented much WP:UNSOURCED (WP:Original research) content in wikivoice as fact.
Language such as these few examples (out of many) are problematic:
- The exploitation of certain horses for mounted or harnessed equestrian tourism (explotation?)
- Nosebands are often too tight (often?)
- These foals are put to work at the age of eighteen months, and those who do not adapt to the racecourse are taken out of service (no words!)
- All equestrian sports require demanding training and can involve doping (can?)
- The use of horses during the filming of television series or films frequently results in problems of animal abuse (frequently?)
- However, "progress" was made in 2014 (scare quotes)
This article needs a thorough going-over to remove original research and unsourced content, and any content that isn't related to horse welfare. I know animal rights and welfare have some cross-over, but the topics are actually distinct. Here, there is no distinction made between the movements/ideas.
It is not a surprise that a French translation article I similar tagged, Equine ethics, was also authored by the same wiki editor (though translated by someone else). [2]
