If I just let my dog go out and be free and wild, he would be dead within a week. He’s 12 lbs, doesn’t know the difference between poison and food, and thinks he’s bigger than most predators. There’s no such thing as a Dachshund in the wild. We have been domesticated by dogs and cats just as much as we have domesticated them. Our whole cultural trajectory exists because of that. The story of humanity is the story of domestication. You’re deluded.
Maybe not deluded but definitely taking a moral high ground so high you can see straight up their whole ass.
To be clear, not arguing for slavery. Just pointing out that comparing human bondage and enslavement to animal domestication, is incredibly demeaning and dehumanizing to those enslaved people’s.
I’d argue it can alternatively be viewed as humanizing the animals instead of dehumanizing slaves. There are people who feel a human life is not superior to animal’s life. They see the suffering of domesticated animals (eg. cows, pigs) as a super cruel kind of slavery, without being less repulsed and shocked by human slavery.

Yes, absolutely agreed
