| Message | People have the right to keep any pets they want as long as it doesn't endanger other people. |
| Date | 22:12:22, April 26, 2008 CET | From | Pariah Idealism | To | Debating the For the wild |
| Message | Animals deserve the same amount of freedom as humans. If the animal is likely to kill or injure someone if it escapes, which by the way means it needs to be caged to not be a harm, then it should not be kept as a pet as it will be happier in the wild. It's like slavery only on a different organism. |

| Message | Slavery is buying them for the sole purpose of making them work for you without pay. Unless the animals are forced to work its not comparable to slavery, the best would be kidnapping |

| Message | so it's kidnapping, but that isn't exactly approvable either... |
