great topic, & yes, i do have plenty of thoughts on the matter of humans using other animals in all sorts of ways: to transport people & their baggage, as a substitute for human company ("emotional support" ), as a food source (before & after birth/hatching), as a source for clothing before & after slaughter, as pets for control reasons, as live material for experimentation in laboratories.

personally i am opposed to any kind of restriction of another living being, which obviously includes the domestication of an animal. factory farming is abhorrent to the animals as well as disgusting in its toxic effect on the planet & the consumer.

if my iron levels drop to a point where i am in urgent need of red meat (which happens every couple of years) i will have kangaroo steak for a few weeks. this is the one concession i make in my otherwise consistent stance in regards to the (ir)responsible exploitation of animals: i couldn't kill a kangaroo.
