No - we protect animals by passing laws against unethical treatment. This is why it's legal to slaughter animals in the most humane way possible, and not legal to just up and kill an animal for no reason or with undue cruelty.
Animals are property, but still subject to cruelty laws. You know all of this, and that animal husbandry is not an analog in the slightest - c'mon.
