Slave owners argued that their slaves received benefits, like a place to sleep and food. Such arguments are only convincing to those who benefit from exploiting the bodies of vulnerable individuals. These arguments exist not to convince others, but to alleviate moral conflict within the person giving the argument.

The truth is, neither slaves nor animals need an owner's help to live and thrive, all such can do is prevent their innate expressions and rob their autonomy. Virtually anyone here would sacrifice some food and sleep for the autonomy to choose their own mate, raise their own children, and choose the effect they have on the world.

He so to people who have e.g. the boxes outside for stray cats (with heat, protection from rain and eat/drink + their freedom) "That is slavery" You are so fucked up in the head

Instead of Cat Island he calls it Slave island

Btw with your critic.... Stop using ANYTHING modern... Stone age technology for you... anything else you would benefit from domenesticated animals
