Pets are slaves

Free slave animals, a.k.a., pets. There is no euphemism applied to human slaves that cannot be applied to animal slaves. If you "own" a pet, you own a slave.

They have been subjected to breeding that results in dogs with horribly short legs, dogs that fight and attack, etc.

They are transported in cars in ways that would have the driver arrested if they were children: seated on the driver's lap (great air bag), with head hanging out the window (great for decapitation), unrestrained (no seat belt - what they cannot go flying?).

They are neutered.

Their young are taken away.

They are handled and played with as if they were toys.

Animals like all this? Perhaps some human slaves liked their treatment. It was still slavery. It is the natural order of things? White humans dominated blacks, men dominated women? That was the natural order, too, or so we thought.
