God I feel you. Especially the vegans/vegetarians. "Well, if you saw how an animal would be killed you wouldn't eat meat either".

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.

Sometimes eating meat is murder. Look up islamic butchering practices.

But, for the record, I agree with the basic premise of this thread - some people are crazy, and crazy people are inconsistent.
