A truly advanced civilization would have universal healthcare for pets too (sh.itjust.works)

Universal healthcare for animals yes. A truly advanced civilisation would find the ownership of an animal by another (a pet) abhorrent. Animals are rational beings and have their own will, therefore we have a moral duty to care for them and not exploit them or keep them captive.

The counterargument to this is that it’s not wrong to make good choices for those who cannot make them themselves.
