I'm curious as to how you think we ended up with domesticated animals in the first place...
they were all wild at one point... furthermore by your logic it would seem that keeping a pet would be objectionable... are you maddened and saddened by the fact that you yourself keep animals? Pardon me if I am misunderstanding your point... but what purpose exactly do pets serve if not to entertain or provide company to their masters? Surely you don't think your cat is healthier, or has a longer life expectancy than a feral cat?
How would you feel if animals took you out of your natural habitat, "broke" you (housebreaking), kept you on a steady diet of weird dry crunchettes and the occasional cylindrical blob of processed meat paste? How would you feel if you had to shit in a box while everyone watched you? Kept on a leash?
Actually apparently some people like the leashes, but I digress...
food for though, oui?
