Presume that animals feel little or no loneliness when wild.

Is it cruel to domesticate animals and then stop treating them as pets, ignoring them most of the day?

What is worse? That an animal feels little loneliness and has a short life, or that it has loneliness granted to it by affection from a human who takes control of its food and water, and then subsequently makes it lonely by not caring for it anything as it once did, spending less time with it?

Isn't it strange that it is human affection, the drive to selflessly cause pleasure to something else, which then creates the traumatic feeling of isolation or loneliness if their owner disappears, dies, or stops interacting with them as often?

I don't know about you anon, but I only own pets because they make me feel good.
The day they stop is the day I give them the boot and find new pets.

Do you also rape babies? Sick fuck. Other life forms aren't your playthings.

I've actually stuck my hand in smaller foot hold traps, it doesn't really hurt. The rat trap I snapped my fingers in left a bruise, but foot-holds don't seem to do shit except, well, hold.

Other forms of life are what I make of them.

They're basically robots anyway.
