Does animal abolition include your "companion" animals?

It is occurring to more and more people that it is immoral to use animals for food, clothing, racing, working, entertaining, etc, but very few owners of companion animals will connect the dot to themselves.

Pet welfarists who don't advocate abolition -- only advocating for improved standards of bondage -- wittingly or unwittingly, ensure that there will always be pet welfare industry jobs (paid or unpaid). As the companion animal market grows, the Pet Welfare Industry grows.

Who comprises the PWI? Some of these mean well, but some mean to keep the status quo (keep their jobs):

* Pet welfare societies
* Pet protection societies
* Pet rescue societies

The PWI satellites: Some of these mean well but pet ownership mean jobs for them too:

* Pounds: disposers of unwanted and pest-pets (stray dogs, cats, rabbits, etc)
* Government ministries and bureaucrats
* Veterinarians
* Trainers
* Pet supply companies (food, cages, etc)

Most of those named believe that the right fight is only for improved standards of bondage. But some must surely have realized by now, after so many decades of seeing that increasing ownership has meant increasing cruelty, neglect, and the need for disposal (by selling, rehoming, or killing), that ownership is the root cause of animal suffering. Any pet welfare society, especially those involved in large-scale disposal of pets, which does not advocate the abolition of owning animals, leaves itself open to the reasonable suspicion that there is an unstated benefit to them of pet ownership.
