Animals wild and enslaved

If an animal is wild (and not regarded as a pest to humans) we study them, marvel at them, protect them . . . although sometimes we hunt them. But if an animal is docile and edible or can make useful products for us, then we put them into the domesticated animal category. Put into service and their freedom to escape is out of the question. Usually their bodily movements are restricted. We take these animals very seriously indeed because they aren’t meant for entertainment or for studying but are essential elements in human lifestyle. It follows then that if an animal is not for cuddling or admiring it must be there to be enslaved. It’s best, emotionally, if humans try not to get too close to these particular animals, since they are going to murdered when they’re either big enough or exhausted enough. We can’t get too friendly if we are going to make them so unhappy. Their happiness is that last thing we are concerned with when holding them in prison conditions (in their pre-abattoir days). When the time is ripe and they do arrive at their last day, it is their unhappiest day. (Or perhaps their happiest, since it brings to the animals a blessėd relief from suffering).
