Many pet lovers do not love Earth and it's inhabitamts (including other humans) minus the specific pet they have emotionally latched onto.

Most pet owners see their pet as nothing more but an object to own and control.

I genuinely wonder how pet owners reconcile pedigrees/breeds and eugenics in their heads. "Aww he's a labrador pure-breed goodboy!"

Don't get me started on pedigree purebreed shit, it's like cosmic levels of torture and cruelty.

My stepgrandparents had a king Charles spaniel, and the poor thing had eye infections all the time, probably headaches (their skull is too small for their brain, giving them "ghost headaches" iirc) and epilepsy when it got older. I just cannot understand it and I don't want to.
