Yes, and we control their reproductive needs by shaming them for wanted to hump a leg every now and then, or keeping an opposite sex companion away from them, keeping them in isolation, never giving them the ability to have sex, a natural part of their species. Or we perform surgery on them to not have babies.
Or we let them breed, but we pick their partners and then take their babies. If we did this to humans there would be outrage right?
- verall 5y agoIt's fine to feel that animal husbandry is unethical, but considering that domestication occurred already, how do you propose the management of domesticated species? Just letting them free would be cruel, because the domesticated animals and surrounding ecosystem have not adapted to eachother. They will probably either hurt the ecosystem (cats and pigs) or die out after losing human care (cattle). It doesn't seem ethical at all to just pretend that domesticated animals are people and so need human rights. They need animal rights, which depending on the species may be completely different.
- summm 5y agoNo. We should just stop breeding pets altogether, and all these moral problems will just solve themselves in a few years.
