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.
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.

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.
