Owning pets is not moral and I think it's strange how normalized it is to have pets
30000 years of evolution says what?
Mind you I'm not arguing against that exotic pets are abnormal, but the normalized pets are felines and canines which actually evolved into a symbiotic relationship with humans on their own accord.
And keep in mind. 30k years. That's more than 10% of our existence as a species. It's a concept more ingrained in us than even the idea of civilization itself. It's more logical to question civilisation itself than to question humanities relationship to felines and canines
To be fair though, if we go by evolutionary standards, all pets then should be free roaming.
