does your analogy extend to no pets as well?

I’m trying to understand the extent of your particular position, or which similarity to focus on

I don’t have any particular position, beyond hypocrisy. I’ve been vegan at times in the past, currently I’m not.

As for pet ownership, I honestly don’t know. I think it’s certainly ethically complicated but personally I don’t think it’s wrong per se. I would say there’s a massive difference between keeping a dog as a pet and keeping a tiger or monkey, though.

Keeping a dog could be considered worse from the perspective of forced eugenics by our ancestors against canines. Domesticated dogs are abominations, some say.
