I care for animals, realizing caring for some pets is not the same compassion, and not so fair, when the animals that are pets would have no care for any protection with happening to not be the pets they are.

    The worst of it is even legal for cats and dogs, too: selective breeding to the detriment of health. It’s not our right to breed a dog to have difficulty breathing and hip dysplasia for our own desires, and neither is it right to breed a cow to be in pain when not milked by a human (then ensure the cow is constantly lactating). Same thing with a chicken laying a pretty large egg almost every day. I personally believe there’s no pasture big enough to right that wrong.
