Your privilege at any time is only as strong as the wifi signal

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

my best guess is that it's because pets don't really have a choice. we know that we can and should eat sensibly and exercise regularly to keep ourselves healthy. your cat just knows that it's hungry, there is food in its bowl, and it has no reason to expend energy if there's nothing prompting it to do so, and it's incapable of connecting its eating habits and lack of exercise with its inability to groom itself or jump up onto the bed like it used to.

it's kind of like comparing boxing to dogfighting. they're both dangerous to the participants, but one activity is being entered into consensually with a full awareness of the risks, and the other is exploiting the instincts of an animal that doesn't know any better.
