Pet ownership is essentially slavery. You purchase your pet. You force it to live with you. You train it to obey, and if it doesn't, you punish it. You use it for entertainment, companionship and/or labor, completely disregarding it's own naturally inherent freedom.
>But he/she's happy, you can see it. One could argue that their display of affection is nothing but a symptom of the Stockholm syndrome. After all, they were taken forcefully from their mother (unless it's a stray).
>They wouldn't survive in the wild anyways That argument only applies to the "pets" that are still in circulation, not to continuous pet-breeding.
Say what you want, but breeding animals for our personal enjoyment is a petty and morally unjustifiable act.
Animals are for our exploitation. You used to be too until someone was brave enough to call you a human. Nigger.

You will know what slavery is like in a few years when you're tending Mohammeds garden while he rapes your wife in the window.

>live inside >never out of food, toys, petted a lot >life expectancy 12+ years So let's say the government could create institutions that did exactly that. You have no freedom anymore. You eat when they say you eat. You shit when they say you shit. You get to live inside. You never run out of food. You get "toys". Your life expectancy drastically increase since the goverrment regulate everything you eat and do. No crime, etc.
Freedom is better than a life in chains. Doesn't matter what the prize is. Thought an american would understand that.

So what do you suggest we do with long domesticated species who cannot survive in the wild, like my ferret? Should we cull them into extinction?
