This is the lineart for a collab w @awfulfawn and I will also probably write a story associated with it too!
Two neglected SBS foals owned by a hoarder get a visit from animal protection services (or whatever the parallel is for fluffies), soaked in their own piss-and-shit filled diapers, covered in rashes and bed sores. Some have pacifiers, but some have started to suckle their hoofsies raw.

My brother in christ, there IS no give-a-shit service for fluffy welfare. They’re not protected under ANY laws (except as property, in a limited way). That’s why they’re so vulnerable, and fucking uselessly prolific on the streets. That’s why we have exterminators instead of catchers. They’re vermin at worst, and toys at best. Alive? Suffering? Literally not one goddamn person in bureaucracy cares. At BEST your human welfare carer might clock them and be a huge bleeding heart hugboxer sad and furious about their condition, but they’re still just property, so what’re they gonna do? Steal them?

I love the thought of animal welfare getting called in because people THINK there’s an actual animal hoarding situation, only to find out it’s Fluffies lmao
Or even something like social services or the city/council intervening, as they’re often the ones who deal with hoarding. I watch a lot of Hoarders and the long-suffering public health people try to intervene as best as they can and help these very unwell people when the neighbourhood’s being affected and the very structural integrity of the house is going.
Maybe something like the neighbours thinking that there’s cats crying all day and night in the house, since it’s kind of muffled… only for it to be SBS Fluffies that have to get the shelter people involved!
