The fact that you...think that Ivermectin is what stops horses getting cancer is fucking ridiculous.
Have you ever owned a horse or livestock? I assume not. Ivermectin is not the only wormer you give livestock. In fact, even if you're targeting the correct parasite, it doesn't work or works once and not again.
It's also something you don't want to give too often, because tolerance is a thing and it happens quick.
The aim is ALWAYS to not worm. Rotate pastures, correct feed is always preferable.
Ivermectin in sheep/goats etc is even more of a task. It only targets one, maybe 2 types of parasites and often doesn't work. It takes just one worm to build resistance to it then the whole next cycle is resistant.
For other types of parasites, you need other medication. It all has the same issue.
I love you filthy casuals who have no idea about medicine let alone animal husbandry. You're making a mockery of the hard work researchers do do and the hard graft that farming really is, even in hobby capacity.
Yes, Ivermectin and associated drugs are incredibly amazing, but they're not this magic bullet fantasy land drug you are all making it out to be.

No. I'm the vegan. Maybe try reading sometime.
