God I feel you. Especially the vegans/vegetarians. "Well, if you saw how an animal would be killed you wouldn't eat meat either".
Then I tell them the story when I visisted my best friend's house (grew up in a small village), since they were slaughtering a chicken.
And how we helped plucking the chicken, then played with its chopped off head while we waited for dinner. And how we - when we were teens - were allowed to behead them.
Then I ask if I should tell the stories about my sister's best friend's parents who had rabbits. Or the cows in our village. Sadly I'm rarely allowed to tell them.
City folk rarely has a clue how life really works.
I'd ask them if they were keeping any animals hostage for their own personal amusement. If "meat is murder" then "pets are slavery". If they asked if I was serious, I'd say "Serious as a badakathcare."
This is an awesome good point.
I understand if someone has s cat or dog while living in a farm. But having a cat or a dog in an apartment sounds a lot like slavery.
Housepets never mature. They are stuck in perpetual adolescence. But they have long, happy lives.
I wouldn't call it slavery though. They aren't people. They are animals who were put here for us.
And that logic works for us because most of us also see nothing wrong with eating meat (because as you say, animals were put here for us), but it breaks the "logic" of people who oppose eating meat because it's "murder." So if you're so bleeding heart that you consider something practical like eating meat as "murder," then keeping one of those creatures as a pet that you control is slavery.
Do you tell 'em the best part about chicken-slaughtering, namely the fact that the body tries to keep going after you chop the head, so you throw 'em in a drum until it stops thrashing around? Lots of folk have a hard time hearing about that.
