The principled reason to care more for dogs from my understanding is mutualism. Dogs are dogs because of humans. Same for cats.

- chc 10y agoAFAIK the prevailing theory is that humans did not domesticate cats, and instead cats just learned to coexist with us because we attracted lots of tasty pests.
- greenshackle2 10y agoIt's the same for farm animals though, isn't it? Modern broiler chickens, egg-layers, dairy cows and beef cattle, turkeys, etc. are very different from their wild ancestors. Farmed turkeys can't have sex, they have to be artificially inseminated, I don't know who made them that way if not humans.
