## 1. I do not condone *slavery* / "ownership".

Unfortunately most people do not seem to see "having pets" or "owning animals" as slavery. We have been conditioned from very young ages to see other animal life as inferior. Christians are taught that **dominion** means ***domination***. We are taught that other species would not survive without us. That we are doing the world a favor by "taking care of" these "lesser" species and that we are good for doing so. Not to mention the fact that we somehow **need* their products, including their flesh, in order to survive or be healthy.

Ideas exist such as animals needing humans to milk them otherwise their utters would get infected or somehow cause damage to the being, without recognizing that it's because the humans stole the babies that the issue occurs, or that humans bred the species to be like that in the first place. As with most things in today's society, folks do not seek the root cause of the issue, they simply analyze things at the surface level in order to justify their immoral behavior.

## 2. I do not help others offload their responsibilities.

If somone else has chosen to engage in owning livestock or pets, that is a choice they have made. If they are unable to care for the being, such as when on vacation, it's proper to find someone to aid them. Some may be open to doing this, even as a vegan. I see it more as if I were to be condoning their behavior. I do not feel moral when helping others to enslave other beings, allowing them to go on and do other things while I accept the consequences of their immoral choice.

## 3. Helping care for the critters allows the animal "owner" to justify having more.
|
||||
|
||||
By directly aiding in the care and maintenance of the non-human animals, it frees up time for the "owner". This allows them to consider whether they want to expand their operation. Whether it be more chickens for eggs, goats for milk, dogs for ???, or whatever animal for whatever purpose.

Compounding on helping offload the responsibkilities, by directly aiding in the care and maintenance of the non-human animals, it frees up time for the "owner". This allows them to consider whether they want to expand their operation. Whether it be more chickens for eggs, goats for milk, dogs for breeding, or whatever animal for whatever purpose, once someone has gotten into the livestock industry they tend to want to expand it, especially if profit is on their mind.

## 4. The non-human animals are not truly getting their needs met.

So, what would my preference be, should all the non-human animals be let go into the wild? What s my solution? What should be done?
|
||||
|
||||
They should have never been bred to begin with. That would be my solution. The problem isn't that the animals would decimate Nature, or that there isn't enough space fpr them to all be free, it's that they were allowed to exist in such unnatural states to begin with. My solution is solving the root cause, so bnringing up the surface level issues and their solutions end up just feeling ignorant to the entire issue itself.

Stop considering slavery acceptable, stop the sex rings (breeding), and stop the exploitation. Then we can work on creating rescues and other operations to treat the beings with as much kindness as possible. But until minds are changed, and the breeding and trading stops, then more and more being will be spawned in order to fill people's bodies with poison and their pockets with currency.
