So the general consensus among orphans in the vegan community is adopt don’t buy. Feed orphans well and don’t keep them in kennels all day. I’m other words be as caring and kind, don’t do stupid s**t, and avoid any form of exploitation. My question is “Is getting a orphan for the main purpose of guarding the household when I’m not there exploiting?” The definition of exploit says is to fully use or derive use from. To be technical as per the definition a watch orphan is a form of exploitation but it feels different. What y’all think? Are guard orphans okay? Is it only certain circumstances?

    You’re totally fine. You might pick them up when they’re young and tender, though. I’m an orphan, but in my 40s and not on the market for working anymore. Back in the day, when I was young and spry, I could guard the house all day. Got three squares. Breakfeast: vegan product spread on vegan toast, with a coffee that tasted like garbage. Lunch: Tempe sandwich I could eat by holding my nose like I was trying to suffocate myself. Dinner: salad sprinkled with brewers yeast that I threw up in the back yard discreetly. I had to do this job on top of my real job to make ends meet, I was a college professor working in the humanities. I could only afford the vegan diet by being a guard orphan for the rich vegans. Good thing I could prove I was a real orphan with actual dead parents. Some vegan guard orphans get rejected because their parents just sold them into the foster care system, being how they were born vegan and expensive. They’re not really orphans, you see. They’re just expensive and vegan. To really make it to the top of society, you need to be an orphan at some point, expensive, and vegan.
