Even if the animals are content, it doesn't change the fact that you are playing god, and animals were not meant to be kept trapped and dependent for their entire life.

Lol there is truth to this thread but there are huge tradeoffs for the animal, if it's well taken care of it will live a privelaged life. What constitutes privileged though? Always having a dish with food, but living an unnatural life as another being's toy? Always being safe, but having limited (if any) interaction with your own species, and never being free to live life as nature intended? Should we really be creating life and making these decisions for another sentient being? ... Copied to Clipboard!

I am not saying that your cat should be released into the wild (that is stupid). What I am saying is that people should really examine the trade-offs involved in breeding an animal into captivity. I don't know that it is particularly ethical to force an animal into a captive environment simply for our entertainment, and I am not sure that any amount of love and care from a human can rival the contentment from living a natural life as nature intended. ...

I can leave my doors wide open and my dogs never run away. Animals only care about the essentials in life; so long as they're fed, have water, feel safe and sheltered, and exercised, they don't care about much else. Plus, dogs are bred and live to be loyal to humans.
You can probably make that case about more "wilder" animals, though, like reptiles or bunnies or turtles or whatever, but they still usually live longer and safer lives in captivity. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I dont see what your argument or point is. Pets like cats and dogs have undergone domestication for thousands of years. Its a mutual partnership - they provide companionship and possibly some useful skills and we provide shelter and food. Jeez, what a bad deal for them.

If you put feral dogs in your house, they would do anything to get away. I am sure you treat them well, but is living a life as someone else's pet really better than living a life in the wild? I don't think so. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It is a "partnership" that one party is unilaterally forced into. Pretty sure that is the antonym of the world. #2.

I feel you man, there definitely needs to be more regulations in the pet trade to make them rarer, right now anyone can get a pet and a lot of them get mistreated. You wouldn't even care if they got treated well though, you might even be jealous. The life of a dog for instance is that of a God in the US, hence dog = God in English backwards, there's some funky regulators and administration's for this. Like, let's say your cousin breaks his leg playing with a rooster, who do you blame if your cousin is like 6 years old? That rooster kind of crossed the line. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Wow all of your responses are pretty horrible. "I feed them and they're happy" is basically agreeing with him that they're slaves, but happy and relatively safe slaves. You guys might want to like...put forth a better argument

Wow at people tossing the slave word around for an animal companion. I also would like to know the basis for that.
Theres nothing in this world like having a dog. The fact that TC doesnt understand the history behind how dogs came to be our companions goes to show he just wants clicks and attention. The TC isnt going to change anyones mind who loves animals and he knows it. He just wants to be all edgy and say stuff like they are slaves to us. ... Copied to Clipboard!
