| This is familiar rhetoric of AR. How about Budiansky theory about voluntary domestication. It works just fine with dogs. It does not take much to entice a wild animal to become a commensal with humans. Right now, I have a wild turkey female, which stick with our poultry. She walks near the barn, enters it and eats with chickens. Sometimes she even sleeps perching inside the barn. I never close its doors. Budiansky debased your philosophy about cruelty, pain and suffering under domestication. |
