Animal Cruelty: Zoos = Dog/Cat owners

[gigantes]

Dogs and cats have been bred to co-exist with humans over thousands of years. It isn't the same as caging a wild animal. They have become both dependent on us as well as emotionally compatible with us.

i don't believe that's true of cats, actually.

domestic cats are very closely related to the african desert wildcat from what i've read. they are essentially wild animals living in partnership with us, originally because the rise of farming attracted rodents, and cats followed the rodents. it probably took little to attract them and to spread them around the world, eventually.

You don't love cats and dogs like you love Zoo animals they're your partners in life.
