I was on a hay ride on Sunday with some visiting extended family and started wondering how the horse pulling the wagon felt about hauling our asses around. Did he resent us? Was it just "normal" for him? Did he enjoy it?
How can we legitimately "own" another living creature? How can we make them do work for us and provide entertainment? We cannot ask them since we do not understand the language they speak. They cannot tell us what they want out of life.
If they could genuinely and completely choose between pure freedom or living amongst humans in "safety" and "servitude", what would they ultimately choose?
Food for thought...
