I'm not saying I don't understand pet ownership by any means, as I'm an active participant in it. But taking a step back, it's really weird. Like a bunch of aliens swoop down and throw us in zoos. Sure we're well cared for, and they genuinely may care about us, and eventually we'll get all interbred and ####ed up. Does that mean that you should keep breeding the things just because "that bridge was crossed"?

I often thought about this when I had my dog. “I’ve essentially imprisoned this thing in my house for my own enjoyment. When I’m not there, he really doesn’t have much of anything to do. He’d definitely rather be outside most of the time. But he wouldn’t leave the yard even if there wasn’t a fence, so he wants to be here. And he’d probably be dead without me. So it’s fine.”
And then I’d pet him and he’d smile and all would be right. Dogs rule. Sucks some people need to use them as an extension of their insecure machismo.
