I get what you are saying but what about those good folk who take a rescued animal and look after it with love and kindness and give it care and companionship, where before it knew nothing but fear and suffering?
Surely they are improving the animal’s life and wellbeing immeasurably?
Just to be clear - I’m not saying anything. Just find it a fascinating discussion.
Those folk who look after rescue animals warm my heart.
If you take the original conversation further though - without animal ownership there are no animals to rescue.
One phrase often thrown around goes something like this:
’People say they ‘love’ their dog…..they buy it, chop its bits off, slap it for acting naturally (barking), keep it cooped up apart from a couple of walks a day then pop it in a kennel whenever they want to go on holiday….. if that’s love?????
They do it because they can - that’s ownership
