Rainbow Dash, where she tried to stop winter, not abiding by the law, and Angel just slapped Fluttershy, and doesn't respect Spike. And I bet he has a reason to. In Dragonshy, Spike had to bunny-sit Angel. Maybe something happened.
I do agree with you, but the show has grown more mature. Tirek was an absolute chuck full of nightmare! The ponies practically KILLED Sombra. Through the seasons, MLP might change. I'm not a fan about all of these dark changes either, but I don't know what MLP is doing with their show.
Tell that to the bronies, it's innocent and cute charm sooner or later will become a Pony Horror Story.
And if Hasbro even does kill of a pet, it probably will get brought back to life 4 seasons later.
If they killed off one of the pets, they would have to get a pet graveyard set for $2.00. (Think of all of the possibilities...)
My Little Pony is growing more mature, (Tirek and Twilight epic battle) so, maybe in the future that episode might happen?
Well, Over A Barrel talks about respecting other people's needs, but there's more than that.
The buffalo are kind of like the Indians, and the Appleoosans are like the Americans. That Over A Barrel is like American history.
