Two Rutgers University law professors have published an essay making a “case against pets,” arguing that domestication of animals is a form of torture that is morally and ethically wrong.
Despite living with six rescue dogs, professors Gary Francione and Anna Charlton describe their pets as “non-human refugees,” according to an article they published on Aeon.co this month.
===============================================================
Can't argue much there.
Companionship is not ending here though.
It is the Pet Supervisory Legislation that must be created and implemented.
Such as:
1. stop crazy breeds
2. obligate pet owners with a "Responsible Ownership Contract"
administered by Local Councils, or similar.
3. start a system of "ROC Bond" lodged with same Councils
to be forfeited on breaches of ROC.
