In tribal and ancient Africa, animals were viewed not as pets or 'things' that could be owned, but as beings in the universe, like people. Pet ownership is slavery. 'The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans anymore than blacks were made for whites or women for men.' - Alice Walker
At least, that's why I don't own an animal.
