SILVER SPRING, MARYLAND– After losing a court case for their anti-Ivermectin stance by saying the controversial drug was only for horses, the FDA was forced to both retract their statements and to also apologize to the horse community for their disgustingly bigoted equine-phobic comments during the height of the COVID pandemic.
A U.S. District Court told the Food and Drug Administration that they must also remove their infamous Twitter tweet where they wrote that Ivermectin didn’t work because people are not horses. A horse representative for the organization the Anti-Horse Defamation League (AHDL) praised the court’s decision, but said the FDA’s bigoted comments have permanently ruined the reputation of the equine community.
“The horse community has suffered more than any other group in history,” said AHDL representative Seabiscuit while a herd of horses protested in front of the FDA building. “For thousands of years we were used as both slaves and meat. Because of all these years of oppression and the FDA’s equine-phobic comments we’re calling on Congress to give horses our due rights and pay us reparations.”
Seabiscuit went on to say that horses were used as the butt of millions of jokes both online and on television as a way to sway humans away from taking Ivermectin for COVID. He said his group has already hired a lawyer and will be suing the FDA, as well as numerous late-night TV show hosts such as Stephen Colbert for mocking horses on their programs.
