Wasn’t going to comment but after reading all your comments I must say I own two dogs as well but I do agree with the though process going on with this Article.
Also dogs and cats would feed themselves as they have the tools available to hunt.
The strong would survive and they would adapt and evolve and breed stronger offspring.
Your pugs and chiwawas wouldn’t last long in the wild as there defects aren’t helpful to them in any way, but dogs and cats who have the genetic make up to do well in the wild wouldn’t go extinct… They’d actually get stronger as a species.
Dear ThePrint,
Being a dog mom for nearly a decade now, its sad to see such an article printed by your team. Why is it that certain people always adhere to the extreme because they are unable to derive solutions or are wanting to work towards solutions?
There are plenty of people who love their pets as family members and go out of their way to accomodate them, placing the needs, likes and dislikes of the pets before their own. I can understand that its hard to come by people but isn’t it the simple rule of the thumb that the benefit of the doubt should always be provided.
So tell me, we as a planet are facing Global Warming at such an epic scale.Every year we hear about how the adverse effects of Global Warming is changing climatic and tectonic shifts to land and water bodies. In this situation if I go by whatever you have said and apply it here, the logical conclusion will be to not work towards the eradication of it but rather stem off the cause which is humans. Maybe if human population reduces by half the planet will be saved. Do you realize how this sounds??? I have to say this, I think you guys are still stuck in the deja vu effects of Avengers Endgame. Please get out of it by snapping your fingers.
Rather than suggesting the extreme try to raise awareness about the issues identified in the article. Try to reach out to the masses and educate them about specific breeding and the ill effects of it. Try to work out with animal welfare groups in imposing harder laws for illegal breeding or negligence of pet care. There’s so much to do. Please pick up your pen and do some good. Always remember, just like people do wrong to their pets, your article just might trigger some people to abandon their pets. Give some thought to the consequences of your action.
Wow, this must be the most shortsighted, badly researched and ignorant article I’ve read on this subject in a long time. You literally have no idea what you are talking about. Stupid.
Plants don’t consent to being eaten. Plants don’t consent to being used for shelter. Rocks and other things in nature don’t consent to being used for tools. The air these people breathe is full of things that live which didn’t consent to being inhaled. I humans should die too since none of us get to consent to being created.
Are you out of your mind? Who do you think will feed these cats and dogs and rabbits if they are not kept as companions at home? I have three cats and two dogs and a couple of birds who are kept out of their cages! Right now I feed 7 non-humans. If like you said it’s not ethical to have pets, these seven could be starving or without a shelter to protect them from perils! Just cos a few people get their pets euthanized or abandon them doesn’t mean everyone would do the same. You know what? Have a pet first! Feed an animal at home and give all your love to him/her! Then you can write such articles! Stop writing stupid articles like this just cause you’re bored!
You have to be kidding me! You people need to be euthanized! If we all let our pets go free what would happen? How long before cats and dogs were extinct? Go find money elsewhere you idiots!

Are you insane!? It is perfectly ethical to keep pets as long as you give them a good life. I’m a vegan saying this!
