And that's what the South said to justify enslaving blacks.

"We're giving them a better life than they had in Africa"

What do I propose? Stop the sale, trade and exportation of animals.

Let the current domesticated animals (I abhore the term "pet" because it justifies slavery) live out their lives as they are because they can't survive in the wild, but all of them should be spayed or neutered.

No further allowance of animal slavery, trade or raising for food purposes, medical experimentation or fur.

I'm not asking they be worshipped. I'm suggesting that we wake up and realize that we are not some species that lives outside the ecosystem. That, as I said, we are just one cog in the system and we are not superior just because we KNOW we are a cog.

Without the other cogs, we cannot survive.

And humiliating the other cogs doesn't increase our survivability; it just lowers us to being a species bully.
