I know when I was a kid and my parents kept our dog in a cage half the day and never walked it, it would try to run away every chance it got.
do you own a car, why don't you let your dog drive? Why don't you let your dog cook you a steak dinner?I thought I made my argument pretty clear, animals are smart enough to know if they are being treated unfairly. My dog is treated really well and hasn't ever tried to run away in the 5 years I've had him even though I never use leashes, never had a fenced in yard, always let him roam.
The dog I had as a kid on the other wasn't treated very well had to be put on leashes and in fenced in yards always tried to take off either by jumping the fence, yanking out of the leash or just bolting out the front door. You had to catch him too he wouldn't come back like my dog now.

Very bold, maybe I'll take a wild guess and say you are libertarian. just guessing
you are saying we should legalize all drugs because freedom?(knowing a few will being willing to hurt themselves without those laws
1) I think of myself as apolitical because there is no party that is even close to representing me.
2) Yes, I think drugs should be legal because the government has no legitimate cause to keep me from hurting myself. And a government that makes a fortune taxing the most dangerous drug and is comprised of elected officials who finance their campaigns with donations from lobbyists representing sellers of the most dangerous drug has no credibility on any drug-related issue.
3) You're fucking delusional.
4) I'm not lying to myself. If I lock up an animal and hold it against its will it is for my own selfish reasons and simply a case of might makes right in that I CAN lock it up while knowing it can't do the same to me. I'm not sad and pathetic enough to try to convince myself that its for the animals good. It's not. You want one and you're using a delusional rationalization to attempt to pretend it's for altruistic reasons. You don't give a shit about animal conservation or the health and welfare of a lizard. You just want one. Grow the fuck up and admit it.
This is why the "you're delusional" argument is used on you. Because you're freaking delusional and you're too delusional to even understand that you're delusional.
When my dog obtains a license and pays for insurance I'll let her drive. If she wants to cook me a steak dinner she is free to do so, I'll even light the grill for her. So far she seems pretty happy about the arrangement where I feed her and shows no signs of wanting to change it.
