There is nothing strange or bad in disobedience. You do it everyday in your life. Consider birds, dogs, cats, whatever! It seems that just about any "advanced" (for lack of a better word, don't mean a value judgement) animal is rather picky about whom with and how they interact. When they become quiet and passive, they are either sick, poisoned or dying, or domesticated and broken.... or domesticated and with friends they know they can trust. Voluntary co-operation is awesome, accepting legitimate authority in a given circumstance is smart and necessary (like trusting parents one shouldn't run into the streets just because they say so), but blind submission, unless it's roleplay or whatever, what is that good for? Honest question, because from what I can tell, not even any "owners" win anything. A leash, any violence or trickery always transforms the people on both ends into slaves. So, what gives? (oh, and if someone were to say that not driving over other people with your car is a leash, I think that would say more about them, than about leashes)
