Well either animls are property or they are creatures we have enslaved for our own uses or entertainment.
I am not sure what rights either status would give the slaves or property.
I don't advocate mean treatment, you don't have to own an animal so i look at it more as responsibility.
However, it really is an issue of enslavement. I am not sure how ethically correct that is to begin with no matter how much you love your slaves.
