No. I don't pay them to do things for me when I have pets. I treat them more like family and they can do almost anything they want. All I do is look after them.

Hmm lets see....

they lay around the house all day,

produce nothing of value (excluding show animals),

their human masters feed them pay all of their costs of expenses give them a place to live rent free and cleanup their poop.

which one sounds like the slave?

show animals.
they produce income but Its not like their owners/trainers didnt invest money and time and effort and still do for them.

see above also.

Are human children slaves? Pets are generally treated about the same, to the degree of their own ability.

If dogs want to be treated like equals, they'll learn how to wear suits and get jobs of their own. Then they can be people.

There's really no getting around the fact that we domesticated them, made them dependent on us, and spread them all over the world to places they don't really belong.

Humans have a responsibility to look after those that we've completely fucked over, imo.

... I think you could argue that ones that are horribly abused could be a form of slavery (I'm thinking of dog fighting and such), but it's a very particular type that really shouldn't be equivocated with human slavery. Edit: No, I'm being too generous. People were right to bring up children. It's abuse of a dependent, but I don't think it's slavery.

There are theories that imply they may be the only species we ever domesticated completely by accident. ie, wolves figured out that they could follow humans around and eat scraps from our camps, and slowly became more and more tolerant to humans, until they started seeing humans as part of their pack (and eventually, as the dominant members of their pack).

If that's the case, then they essentially domesticated themselves and made themselves dependent on us. They weren't forced into service against their will as much as they chose their own fate.

And to be honest, considering their usual fate involves sitting around, sleeping, playing, and eating all day while doing very little to earn their keep other than being adorable, it feels like they made the right choice.

They'll become outstanding citizens of Duckburg! Or they'll ditch the suits and resort to low lives of crime.

They're slaves only if you don't know the definition of the word slave.

Dogs are usually just happy to be here. They are companions and friends and they love you unconditionally because you care for them. Doesnt seem like slavery at all
