Choking Your Best Friend: Pet Ownership Ethical Contradiction



It’s not weird that we haven’t used technology to learn the languages of animals? Probably not much money in it except for zoos and circuses. Two dark paths. I know animal and pet lovers love their animals.

The ethical contradiction, aka paradox

One of the best ways to show that love is tying a rope around their neck. “Fido’s a man’s best friend, but every now and then, I gotta choke ’em a little bit!”

IDK That pet bit felt more like a soap box. Probably cutter deeper than was needed to make the point. I don’t know why I do that with words sometimes: I’ll deliver laughs at the same time as a small cut. Most likely because of stimulation. Yikes, that’s uncomfortable to know about yourself.

No but yeah 

But yeah, learning animal languages. Maybe in that parallel universe where the “us or them” way of existing didn’t catch on. We find out animals are hilarious, but they don’t like being laughed at by animals that don’t look like them. Plus, we were right about how hilarious their banter is.🤔

Someone drop my name if Chris Rock could use a writer.

AI gave me the title of this post

I asked ChatGPT(via Reflect) for 5 good titles under 50 characters, and this one was pure gold: Choking Your Best Friend: Pet Ownership Paradox

Mmh AI goodness. It’s a blooming onion of irony and hilarity and sadness and numbness.

I changed paradox to ethical contradiction so I wouldn’t have two articles with paradox in the title.
