Yeah you can.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

no

[–] Sas@beehaw.org 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Any arguments on why you think that?

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They're not people.

Where have I heard this argument before

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

are you serious

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'm serious insofar as I think that sentient beings absolutely can be enslaved. Am I drawing the parallel to the rhetoric of racist slaveowners in earnest? No.

I think you've not spent time around any animal other than human if you think that

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Slavery is the ownership of a person as property, especially in regards to their labour.

Wikipedia.

Animals are persons nowadays?

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I don’t need Wikipedia to tell me that animals are persons and not property. Anything that has a conscious perspective has personhood.

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wouldn't say having consciousness is enough to define a person.
