Very short poll! You are in a magical pet store, and they have all kinds of pets available for sale. In fact, it is the largest pet store in the universe and you could wander around forever looking at all the fantastic creatures and species and animals. Everything is in stock, anything is allowed, and if you have specific requirements they can even synthesize a pet according to your specifications. A rich Magical Girl nee-san is paying the bill, so you don’t have the worry about the price. You can get anything you want. It would probably be a good idea to get something that can actually fit in your house, or something that you can feed safely — otherwise it would be a shame if you had to give up a pet. 1. What kind of pet would you get? Why? 2. What kind of qualities do you like in pets? Is there a reason you would want a pet (e.g. companionship?) 3. Suppose you purchase a pet, and almost immediately the pet talks (yes, it’s an intelligent fantasy talking pet) and says it doesn’t want to be purchased by you. What do you do? 4. Suppose your fantasy talking pet tells you it resents being locked up inside, and it would rather be outdoors. Your pet tells you it wants to do some stuff, like fly to Antarctica to hang out with its old friends and uh... maybe only come back once a year because your neighborhood/house is boring ;D Would you agree to this? 5. If certain fantasy pets are equally as intelligent as humans, would you be comfortable keeping them as pets? Or is that the same thing as slavery? Whoops I forgot to post with @lychee Wrong account!
1. What kind of pet would you get? Why? An El- no wait that would be compromising to say. I'd probably get... a mimic. 2. What kind of qualities do you like in pets? Is there a reason you would want a pet (e.g. companionship?) Fluffy, cute, and cute. Honestly, I can't think of anything better than the current fluff ball I own, Colonel. (A cat) 3. Suppose you purchase a pet, and almost immediately the pet talks (yes, it’s an intelligent fantasy talking pet) and says it doesn’t want to be purchased by you. What do you do? Congratulations pet, I won't purchase you. The magical girl already did. 4. Suppose your fantasy talking pet tells you it resents being locked up inside, and it would rather be outdoors. Your pet tells you wants to do some stuff, like fly to Antarctica to hang out with its old friends and uh... maybe only come back once a year because your neighborhood/house is boring ;D Would you agree to this? Sure, I already have a cat. 5. If certain fantasy pets are equally as intelligent as humans, would you be comfortable keeping them as pets? Or is that the same thing as slavery? Yeah, that's slavery. I wouldn't bother with it.
1. What kind of pet would you get? Why? Not sure, a parrot that can change size at will to be a mount and can fly fast maybe 2. What kind of qualities do you like in pets? Is there a reason you would want a pet (e.g. companionship?) I like pets that can be fun I guess 3. Suppose you purchase a pet, and almost immediately the pet talks (yes, it’s an intelligent fantasy talking pet) and says it doesn’t want to be purchased by you. What do you do? Return it to the store or give it to the magical girl, if it doesn't want to be bought by me then so be it 4. Suppose your fantasy talking pet tells you it resents being locked up inside, and it would rather be outdoors. Your pet tells you it wants to do some stuff, like fly to Antarctica to hang out with its old friends and uh... maybe only come back once a year because your neighborhood/house is boring ;D Would you agree to this? I will see if I can return it to the pet store or give it to the magical girl, I want a fun pet not a nagging lover 5. If certain fantasy pets are equally as intelligent as humans, would you be comfortable keeping them as pets? Or is that the same thing as slavery? Well, I am not the one who bought it so, technically it is not mine, this question should be answered by that magical girl
1) A dragon, for various reasons, but the main reason is why not. Otherwise a few that I won't say because I don't want to be judged. 2) Intelligence and friendliness. Companionship and fun. 3) Wouldn't happen. When I choose a pet I am very picky and ask numerous questions to staff before making a choice. I would have known that it had the ability to talk and asked if they were willing to come with me or not before purchase. If they said they didn't want me to buy them when I asked I would move on. 4) Not for long periods of time, but for shorter lengths, sure why not. I may even ask to go with them. 5) It would depends on if they are forced into it or not. If they are forced I would call it slavery, otherwise they may have a reason to put themselves up for sale. I would also have to add that if they are given an option of whether they want to be sold to a specific person would also add to this opinion.
1. What kind of pet would you get? Why? A Gardevoir, A Renamon, a Dragon, Etc. Being lonely is a sad thing. 2. What kind of qualities do you like in pets? Is there a reason you would want a pet (e.g. companionship?) Yes, companionship ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 3. Suppose you purchase a pet, and almost immediately the pet talks (yes, it’s an intelligent fantasy talking pet) and says it doesn’t want to be purchased by you. What do you do? "Why are you even here?" I asked and go to ask more questions. 4. Suppose your fantasy talking pet tells you it resents being locked up inside, and it would rather be outdoors. Your pet tells you it wants to do some stuff, like flying to Antarctica to hang out with its old friends and uh... maybe only come back once a year because your neighborhood/house is boring ;D Would you agree to this? As long I'm not paying for food and I didn't find some other pet willing to join, sure, why the fuck not? 5. If certain fantasy pets are equally as intelligent as humans, would you be comfortable keeping them as pets? Or is that the same thing as slavery? If they are as intelligent as humans, their choice.
But... they’re magical? What about the magical hypo-allergenic dogs or cat-girls? Or maybe a sentient rock pet? Have you ever been interested in a candlestick Butler that sings in his thick fake French accent?
1. First of all the appearence must be a bunny! Pink & white colored little bunny! And it will be super smart and knows magic and technology. It creates magitech inventions with my help and we go on amazing adventures with what ever we make! 2. I like animals but I have no confidence in taking care of them so a pet needs to be smarter than me. My fav animals since childhood has always been bunnies since one of the kids in the area had 3 white bunnies and you can just imagine the 3-4 year old me in the middle of all that floof. 3. I guess I will return it since I'm not gonna force it to be with me. Who whats to be forced to be with a person they don't like? 4. I would obviously follow my pet. The whole idea was to go on an adventure with my awsome smart pink&white bunny! It should be smart enough to figure out the finance problem. 5. My pet would be smarter than me and in the end I propably would be the pet. If the pet is forced to act against it's will then it is basically slavery. I'm the kind of guy who acts like the pet is part of the family. The pet would be just below mom and dad and the siblings come last in the importance order.
im actually quite sure that if the pet is waaaaay more intelligent than you i BET that the pet title will be on you instead LOL... the pet would somehow become the boss... And if the pet is so smart how the hell he ended up in a pet shop LOL
1) I'm going to pretend I wouldn't use this opportunity to get a pet that would let me become the supreme leader of the universe and achieve anything I want on a whim, but just for the sake of having a cool pet I would get a small humanoid pet that somehow looks cool and cute at the same time It is agile and fairly intelligent (similar to like an octopus with the "social skills" a bit better than a dog) with a cool purple magic power that I don't really care so much about the actual effects Also it should probably be unconditionally loyal to me, so it doesn't end up killing me in my sleep or escaping. Basically like a cool pokemon that hasn't had it's first evolution yet 2) I like pets who like lots of pats, and who feel nice to pat Pets who get excited to see you (or cats who pay attention to you at all) are always nice, they somehow always improve my mood whenever I see them It's also lots of fun to teach pets tricks, so a pet being somewhat intelligent and subservient is also good 3) I ask it why. If it is adamant I don't buy it then I won't, but if I find out the reason why and convince it otherwise then that is good too. 4) If my pet is intelligent enough to ask for and do such a thing on it's own then I don't think I really have the right to not let it, there's not really much difference between that and slavery at that point 5) I should really read all the questions before I answer these Like I said in question 4, I think this would basically be slavery. The way I grant someone moral consideration is by their capacity to reciprocate moral standards themselves
1. A small one. Think cat or puppy sized, at the largest. 2. Independence would be nice. 3. Get a different pet. 4. Sure. 5. If slaves were required to do no work, got free room and board, could pester and make demands of their owners all they want, feared no real punishment for crimes others would be murdered over, and, apparently, could ditch their owners for most of the year to go hang out with friends in Antarctica, then... Sure, it's slavery, totally abhorrent, and please sign me up. My first thought was that @lychee had changed names.
1. What kind of pet would you get? Why? Something small and don't eat too much food.. and because it magical lest find one that don't eat or can change it's size freely...why, sometimes I too busy and forget refill food bowl but good thing I made DIY food dispenser. 2. What kind of qualities do you like in pets? Is there a reason you would want a pet (e.g. companionship?) Probably because I lonely, I trying teach my parrot play a game but it's don't succeed... But good thing she can repeat my word... 3. Suppose you purchase a pet, and almost immediately the pet talks (yes, it’s an intelligent fantasy talking pet) and says it doesn’t want to be purchased by you. What do you do? "No problem, Shopkeepers did you have another ? This one don't like me" 4. Suppose your fantasy talking pet tells you it resents being locked up inside, and it would rather be outdoors. Your pet tells you it wants to do some stuff, like fly to Antarctica to hang out with its old friends and uh... maybe only come back once a year because your neighborhood/house is boring ;D Would you agree to this? Well my parrot have GPS trackers and it's already 7 times kidnapped, but if not she always return in 3pm each time or just stay in house gofing around. 5. If certain fantasy pets are equally as intelligent as humans, would you be comfortable keeping them as pets? Or is that the same thing as slavery? Well that's interesting question, but if they raised in shop probably it's called adoption and if they really smart they probably hate Shopkeepers or buyers if its was slavery.
Depends on the legal definition of 'pet' limitations. I guess it would be mostly for companionship, unless it's smart enough to make my life a lot easier Depends on why it doesn't want to be owned by me. Does it want to return to the store? Does it just not like me ? Does it prefer female owners? Does it abhor the 'slavery' it's put in ? As long as it can provide valid enough motivation, reasons for doing it and compensation to me, maybe, but not really to once a year, unless it's extremely good compensation, or it would make a horrible mess if it stays. Are we talking the equivalent of housecats being able to hold conversations, or the equivalent of being able to walk upright, dress in a formal suit (because it realizes the fur is nakedness), have spectacles and teach advanced microphysics in a top univeristy or anything inbetween?
