Justifying the unjustifiable

1325: 

Buying a ‘pet’ from a pet shop means yet another ‘pet’ will be bred to replace the one sold.  Its cage is never kept empty.  Whenever we buy any ‘animal item’ we create a vacuum into which another 'item' takes its place.  Even when we give away a pair of shoes to someone who needs them, it gives us an excuse to ‘go shopping’ for more.
         

Stealing life from animals benefits us.  And to hell with the victim.  It’s the same as exploiting children or desecrating forests for timber - it’s the same human habit of using our advantage to victimise the defenceless.
