Ultimately, veganism relies on personal decisions of morality. It’s not fully prescriptive and leaves room for differing opinions. The question here is whether or not the relationship is exploitative.
This leaves some room for nuance. There’s a difference between purchasing a pet from a breeder, which adds further demand, and adopting an animal that would otherwise be euthanized, for example.
There is no room for nuance in a fucking circlejerk community, if you disagree with me you’re my number one enemy and I will destroy you and your reputation.
It actually breaks down into little soot sprites who then immediately get to work building a multi-story wooden gazebo around the place the cat once was.
What then? Im not sure what your trying to say here. Animal on my property are my pets? Genuinely don’t know what your hypothetical is meant to address?
Trying to differentiate between owned pets and animal companions is splitting such fine hairs that it might as well be the same thing.

Uhh… Ohh… OK. Please don’t hurt me! 😳
I fed my cat lettuce and now its first investigative documentary is coming out titled “Catastrophe”!
I always thought that as an obligate carnivore if you feed the cat lettuce it explodes in a little furry fireball.

Words matter, mindset matters blah blah dont have the time for a “your hairsplitting vs. my careful differentiation” debate rn
Claiming ownership of an animal that doesn’t (and is unable to) consent overrules careful differentiation of words and mindsets.
Right which is why I said “less harmful than shelters” it’s harm reduction not harmless
What if the animal is born in your property and never tries to leave because it wants to stay?

Likely I misintepretted your post. I think I was saying its harmless in some cases not just harm reduction, but its not much point to make. Sorry!
No harm done 😄
