Well, let's say I was being polite in describing
your evil political philosophy. You make
Adam Smith look like a bleeding-heart liberal.

Of course I can, and so could you, since you understand
perfectly why it violates AR ethics. It violates an animal's
right to autonomy, to own his own life. Animals have a
right to form their own social groups and choose their own
mate(s) according to the biological methods of their
particular species. That is why *conditioning* an animal
to prefer a human mate is immoral, and why it is more
ethical to sterilize an animal than neuter/spay
when it is necessary to prevent the birth of unwanted
puppies or kittens.
