Yeah, and the Wendy's might as well serve the flesh of the slaughtered horses as well.
Dismissing serious, actual life or death concerns with statements like "sir this is a Wendy's" only serve to further silence a group of individuals suffering without a voice.
When I initially commented on this, literally none of the 20+ comments acknowledged the horrible reality the horse in the photo is/was forced to endure.
If I posted a photo of a starving child with a funny name and everyone was simply laughing at the meme, would you say nothing?
It's not. I was trying to draw a similarity between how little "farm" animals are valued and how little these people value horses. If the meme was about a funny farmed cow name I would've made a similar comment.

More than thousands of cattle are killed every year, too. Why is slaughtering horses worse than slaughtering cattle?

They value the horses a lot, if they can earn money on the race track. But at some point their value is in their meat.
The world is a sad enough place without pointing out the obvious.
Horse is actually quite tasty, had some in Japan when I was younger.
If a Wendy's near me was serving horse I would order it.
