What are the odds in the year 3000, pet ownership will be seen as a blemish on history? “In yee olden thymes, they had nazis… meat eaters… pet owners… $your_chosen_political_party-s…”

we've had pets for at least like 10'000 years now, i don't think it's going to become unacceptable any time soon.

What i do think is likely is for there to be laws regulating pet ownership, just like how we remove children from the care of irresponsible parents. I think i recall sweden introducing some laws on needing to register the ownership of pet cats and dogs, or something along those lines.
