And I certainly don't play to turn cows into leather. (As stated in the upcoming changes.)

Oh no!!- that means we have to kill the cows just to get leather saddles for our EC's...

That's really sad.

"Kid friendly game." Plans to make kids (and adults) kill cows to get leather. (Because it's impossible to get get leather from a cow that's still living.)

I wonder if they'll include the entire tanning process of making leather, or if it will just be "I killed a cow, now I have leather; let's go make a saddle." I bet the population of vegetarians and vegans who play will not be happy with this, even if it is just a picture of a cow.

Yeah, I definitely don't like this.

Perhaps - and this is just my thoughts, in no way should this be taken as an official statement on anything;

I know in some other games - when you have a certain amount of an item or something, you get something in return (ex. When you have 6 chickens - you get 1 dozen eggs a day)

Perhaps this will be the case with the cows - when you own x amount of cows, you'll get x amount of Leather after a certain period of time [The more cows you have, the more leather you can get at a time]

Then, you can just take the leather and make Saddles/Bridles. With this method - there is no mention of killing, tanning, etc. If a player wants to believe this to be the case - that's fine. If a player wants to believe the cows are magic and shed their skin like a lizard - that's fine.

Woah killing cows for leather? And people thought the

Seal of apocalypse ( may I add I like this item and see nothing wrong with in in the slightest)
was sick. I hope they change their slogan from
Howrse: The horse breeding simulator!
to
Howrse : We will make you and your children kill cows to run a good Equestrian Center!

I don't think I'd want to join a game that kills cows and if a had not come this far in the game I would certainly stop playing . It's a awful change. Just for leather ? Does howrse know the horrors some of those poor animals go through?!? I can't beleve they think this is a good idea in the slightest. I know they're only pixels but it's still just wrong.

Let's hope so. A cow that moults it's skin sounds rather odd. lol

Svengali - I have no idea. (Haven't even figured out what gender it will be, although I think male is likely.)

You could also assume that the cows live a nice life of fertilising the meadows and the whole getting-leather stuff happens after they died from old age

That works too. =)

So now we can pretend our meadows are fertilized by cow manure? (I found some in my hay a couple months ago. I was not happy.)
