title: "Why I don't help with Animal Care"

All you have to do is imagine yourself in the animal's position and it clerly and immediately ceases to be okay. Being stuck in a pen, unable to roam for miles as you would in Nature. Being forced into sexual intercourse with strangers in order to prolong and spread the sex ring. Being fed scraps, processed food, and likely not many itemd that you would forage yourself if you were in your natural environment. Likely bored, only getting attention when it benefits the human(s) responsible for your "care".
So, below are some of the specific reasons regarding why I feel that "ranching", and somtimes even pet "ownership", is wrong and immoral.
1. I do not condone *slavery*.
## 1. I do not condone *slavery*.
> 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 ?ɗeflect? their responsibilities.

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.

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

> If I was to be put in charge for the amnimals, given any responsibility for them at all, then I would feel charged to take full responsibility and liberate them. If I am to be their caretaker, and I am tasked with aiding them in some way, then I will fulfill my moral duty to get them to some sort of situation where they can exist as free as possible.
