Comment on A crate for puppy

I’ve never understood the copium it takes to convince yourself this isn’t just slavery of other species. They have no choice in anything without a human, from defecation to eating, and you literally cage them when they act against your wishes. I’ll take my downvotes now.

Slavery usually implies material profiting from another’s unpaid labor. I’ve been losing money on this investment since day 1.

Does it? I’ve just taken it to mean enslavement. Every definition I can find lines up with pet ownership like a carbon copy.

I guess there are working breeds (hunting/herding/pest removal) so you’re right in a way.
Personally, I view it as a symbiotic relationship. To each their own.

Oh, I didn’t realize it was symbiotic. When do they take you for your walk and let you eat?
