    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.

    More ideas?
