Do cats and dogs actually feel affection when you treat them right or is it really just an instinct for “more food and drink” etc?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen dogs, cats and other domestic animals smile because they’re happy and show love to their owners for treating them right.

Yeah I see memes but those are either photoshopped or snapped at the perfect moment to make it look like they’re smiling.

    If you kill a sentient being for pleasure against its will, there is nothing that could make it ethical.

      That statement is untrue, because many different sets of ethics disagree with you.
