Not to mention that we have complete and total control over what happens to animals, and that's a huge responsibility that should not be taken lightly. This is especially true of domesticated animals...we took them from the wild and made them our pets. They didn't choose that - we did. Whether you're "into" pets or not, you're a human, and humans are responsible for what we've done. I'm not saying everybody should volunteer at shelters, etc., but just fucking BE KIND!!!!!!!!
