It also reveals their true belief that humans, and children, are nothing more than disposable animals, there for their enjoyment and at their leisure.
This is pretty close to home, actually. Look at this quote from DrunkCatLady:
"I am a fur mommy and my fur baby means as much to me as any child from my body.
My fur baby is better than children. My fur baby won't answer back, get an attitude or have a moment when I am not loved and respected."
I mean, one of two things is happening here (or possibly both). Either she really thinks that REAL mothers love and value their children for how pleasant they are and how much they enhance HER existence, or she's admitting that OF COURSE she doesn't love her pets as much as a child, because maternal love involves self-sacrifice and putting the child ahead of one's own desires and convenience. Pets are about what you get out of having them around; motherhood is about what THEY get from having YOU around.
