That's a fair question. Just think about how many cats and dogs are stuck inside small apartments most of their lives.

  Or on a roof/balcony. Living in Guadalajara, I've wanted to put many dogs out of their misery. Left on the roof as thief-deterrent to go completely crazy. Our treatment of animals (pets, meat) is one of the indicators of how primitive we still are as a civilization... or, god forbid, species.

    The fact that we keep animals as pets and use them as meat indicates that we are the superior species and by extension we are the most glorious civilization.

    To be fair we treat people really badly too. We just suck as a species.

  To some extent that's a matter of perspective and context. Keeping a Great Dane or even a Border Collie in a small apartment is a very different thing from keeping a Chihuahua in one.

    For most people getting a Border Collie is really bad and just mean to the dog. These dogs are very smart and active and they lose their mind if they have nothing to do. They are working dogs, not pets.

  Why just getting stuck in apartment or home? Most of the pet dogs here (in the US) are spayed/neutered so they have no reproductive purpose left. They are basically just living toys for the amusement of the owners.

    How asinine. Humans and dogs have evolved (literally) a wonderful co-dependency over the last 10,000 years - it is not a one way street.
