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 continuous pet-breeding. >So you want to make some animals go extinct Pets aren't necessary for the eco-system, not even in the slightest. Also, I'm not saying that we should kill all current pets, just stop the breeding. Pets that currently are in circulation should remain pets, but not be allowed to produce offspring.
Anyhow, say what you want, but breeding animals for our personal enjoyment is a petty and morally unjustifiable act.
that fucker has been on the microwave for like an hour don't tell me he's a slave what the fuck is he even doing there

So I guess keeping Muslims in your home is in slavery because you can't get them to obey you ?

OPs post is based on the assumption that animals are equal to humans in any way
an animal is an animal, a complex biological machine, a human is made in the image of God

I'm fine with this, I think we should take back slavery. It's what powered Rome and ancient Greece, the two most powerful White civilizations in history.
