Why do those sentient animals not deserve a chance but all others do?
Because both these species literally domesticated themselves.
Dogs are Wolves that chose to live with humans, and cats are... Cats.
Orcas are significantly more intelligent than either cats or dogs.
My cat just decided to move into my house one day. That was that. She doesn't like when I play videos on my ipad with the sound on. I don't do it without headphones anymore. She doesn't like when I cook spicy foods, I installed a kitchen door and a window fan to keep the smells out of the rest of the house. She doesn't like when the blinds are all the way down and she can't see outside. They are never less than 6 inches from the window sill. She doesn't like it when I eat without sharing, I always have plain chicken to put on my plate to give to her. I'm pretty sure I am the one who has been domesticated.
Well, I actually think dogs and cats come out on top. So I think they are using their chance to the maximum. My cat’s almost got nicer shit than me.
There are three times as many puppies born each day as humans.
I think they took their chance and are running with it already, and doing quite well.
Arbitrary reasons. All the reasons people gave you are abritrary and I am sorry no one here told you the brutally honest truth. Cows are slaughtered by the millions in one country but are sacred and protected in another. It is all justifications humans come up with so we can live with our choices.
if my cat wanted to run away, there isn't actually anything stopping him.
