"Yeehaw! Get along little dogie, yer mother's waitin' on ya!"

Applejack "escorts" an overly adventurous young calf back to it's herd. Y'know, I've been thinking, remember Applebuck Season? So, these cows can talk, right? Do the ponies pay them for their services or is this a slavery type dealio? Not only that, but big splotchy Holstein dairy cows like the ones in the show aren't naturally occurring, they were selectively bred into existence. Did the Equestrians just, uh, instruct them who they should and shouldn't breed with over the course of thousands of years? And the cattle were totally okay with this arrangement... riiight. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Wait, the Holsteiner isn't a working cow, what's a horse need milk for? Either Ponyville has an overwhelming population of orphaned foals whose thirst needs slaking, or these ponies have highly unusual digestive tracts. And Applejack owns pigs and chickens, too. I can only think of two uses for a pig: meat or truffle-hunting, and if the Apples have ever sold mushrooms it's slipped from my memory.

... You know, in a universe where it's been established that all animals are highly sentient, this has some pretty dark implications. Hölle, what am I saying? The slaughter of animals regardless of where they sit on the spectrum of intelligence is the stuff of nightmares. Maybe that friendship map should have the main six clean their own house before it sends them gallivanting around sticking their hooves into other peoples' pies.

Maybe the friendship table is racist. Twilight, quick, play one of Hoofler's speeches and see if it arranges the little holographic villages into a swastika.
