I maintain that we ought to abolish the institution and stop causing or facilitating the existence of more 'companion' animals.

If you claim to 'love' animals but you eat animal products, you need to think critically about how you understand love.

I certainly believe that we have a moral obligation to care for the dogs, cats, and other nonhumans whose existence we have caused or facilitated as part of the institution of 'pet' ownership. But I maintain that we ought to abolish the institution and stop causing or facilitating the existence of more 'companion' animals.

We should take good care of the domestic animals we have brought into existence until they die. We should stop bringing more domestic animals into existence.
