Funny, I actually have a running story in my head like this. People kept in little cages like hamsters, aliens choosing breeding pairs, or training them to fight each other. Some aliens would be debating the ethics of it all while others go, “Humans are much stupider than we are, so it’s okay to treat them like this.”

There was an episode of The Orville that was kinda like this.

It was exactly this. Right down to them being fed peanut butter and chili.

They weren't trained to fight or choosing breeding pairs, though. It was just a zoo.
