Honestly can you imagine how weird domestication must be to wild animals… Like just imagine driving down into a back roads area… noting some large ugly creature there… then seeing a small luxury area but still completely foreign to you, and inside it are people. You approach and be “Hey who are you? want to come to society”, and they are like “nah long as we do these weird tasks we don’t understand for these random other creatures, they feed us and let us sleep on these comfy beds… were cool man”.
I know a lot of people that would be very happy with the last part
All basic needs met just for existing!, Being a domesticated animal actually does seem like it beats the hell out of wild life…
Course I suppose it depends on what animal what context. Obviously a workhorse, or any food animals would be pretty horrific. I’d imagine though zoo animals, pets, etc… would be pretty superior lifes than even humans carve out for themselves.
While yeah also an insane horror movie plot if “when they turn 40, they walk into that barn and never come out”.
