    how is it different? They all have the same capacity to suffer. They’re all living, breathing beings. They all experience pain and suffering. How’s it different?

      In this case we’re talking literal stolen pets though.

        Because appealing to and manipulating your emotions is the only way that fella can alter your behavior in the way they see fit.

        They don’t approve of your autonomy.

          what about the autonomy of the animals we keep locked up on farms?

            Well I just talked with a farm chicken and they seemed okay with it. Have you bothered to ask these animals how they feel about it or are you just projecting your own values onto them?

              I’ve personally been to factory farms. The animals are far from okay with it.

      The animal kidnapping. It directly hurts the owner. A farmer doesn’t really get sad when the lambs go to slaughter.
