Your argument is absurd, I am human, not an animal.
I know this is hard for you to understand, there is a significant difference.
Let me ask you something, if I get tired of a cat or dog and take them out for a long drive in the country and toss them out am I being cruel for dumping them out in the world, or kind because I am setting them free?
Yes you're being cruel, because you take an animal that hasn't got the skillset to survive on it's own, because you fed it and cared to it's needs for all it's life, and suddenly you put it in a strange new environment. It won't mean that it will die, some animals adapt and survive but there's no certainty to it. And since you've done that animal "the favor" of taking care of it and not let it develop it's surviving skills, putting that animal back into the wild would be kinda cruel, and somewhat illegal I believe.
And what's the difference between a human and another non-primate mammal except for a more analytical brain and opposable thumbs? Nobody proved yet that animals don't have feelings, needs and desires.
I'm not an activist or a militant Techxan, but besides the fact that we humans destroy every natural habitat we lay out eyes upon we now want to take all the animals and keep them as pets. Kinda sad really...
But in no way I'm saying not to adopt tigers and bears and gorillas as pets, unless it breaks the law that is.
