"owning pets is unethical" crops up in my mind now and again like an ugly sweater I'm not sure I can throw out
#something about accidental malice from living in its habitat vs the malice of incompetence from being unable to be an adequate caretaker#like sure the animal is “better off” but is it happier?#i dont know but then im pro butchery and it's not like killing them you can say is better than making them mildly uncomfortable#because your mom's pooch sighs dramatically at the bowl of constant fresh water wishing for the zest of life that comes from drinking from#a contaminated puddle#i feel like i can comfortably say it's not good#that if you can manage scratch that itch for a ball of dopamine somehow else#maybe im also bristling from what pet care looks like in this age and the abuse enabled by it#or annoyed at everyone's dogs and wishing they'd vanish lmao
