Can you imagine what it'd be like if they continued reproducing like a plague? Anyway, the real question is: were they happier in 1910 when they were our slaves or are they happier now that they have more leisure? How do you even measure happiness in a horse? How do you measure happiness in humans? Is happiness even real? What is the meaning of life? What does "42" mean?
