@PM_me_trebuchets That fundamentally isn’t your decision to make though. You sterilize her for your convenience. Isn’t that messed up? You chose to own her, so now you get to decide if and when she has puppies - that feels like a messed up construction to me at its most basic level. The choice only goes one way, which means that when owner’s wishes and pet’s wishes collide, the owner gets their way, no matter what the cost to the pet.

@PM_me_trebuchets I contend that the whole notion of ownership of animals (as sentient beings) is immoral, no matter how good the conditions. That’s what I’m trying to get at here.

@PM_me_trebuchets You intimated that because *you* decided conditions are adequate, everything is by definition okay. I don’t subscribe to that logic.

Also, ‘normal’ farms *are* (at this point) factory farms. That’s just the reality, at least in the US and many other industrialized countries.

@PM_me_trebuchets @tributarium Question: what exactly do you hope to achieve by barging in and insulting anyone who questions your (perhaps motivated) reasoning? You are a textbook example of how not to have an actual conversation. Instead of actually engaging with the points being made (and giving the reasons you disagree with them), you instead stoop to insulting people who are trying to have an actual conversation with you.

Go outside and touch grass, my friend. Anger is bad for you :)

@PM_me_trebuchets @Gold_E_Lox So ownership is fine as long as the owner determines that the conditions are adequate? Seems pretty sus.

@PM_me_trebuchets Also, if I were ‘normal’, I would have accepted the meat, dairy, and egg industries as ‘normal’ and not at all exploitative. That is, I would not be vegan. But I actually like to think about these things and question my assumptions, even if it’s uncomfortable.

@PM_me_trebuchets You’re not actually addressing my points. What gives you the right to determine whether your pet is allowed to reproduce?

@PM_me_trebuchets Not to mention stuff like declawing (for the convenience of the *owner*, we rip out cat’s claws?!) or locking up pet birds (not to mention ‘exotic’ pets, a.k.a. wild animals!). In so many ways, pets are treated as objects whose agency is denied.
