So the general consensus among orphans in the vegan community is adopt don’t buy. Feed orphans well and don’t keep them in kennels all day. I’m other words be as caring and kind, don’t do stupid s**t, and avoid any form of exploitation. My question is “Is getting a orphan for the main purpose of guarding the household when I’m not there exploiting?” The definition of exploit says is to fully use or derive use from. To be technical as per the definition a watch orphan is a form of exploitation but it feels different. What y’all think? Are guard orphans okay? Is it only certain circumstances?
I don’t know what the problem is? Child labour is generally eco-friendly and has a long tradition and in some places it’s just normal. Not everyone can afford to pay for services or install fancy alarm systems. We have a symbiotic relationship with orphans and putting them to work for us strengthens our unbreakable bond. Not to mention that using children for labour can help preserve certain breeds that have been traditionally bred for work purposes. In some cases, if these orphans are not utilized, there may be a risk of their extinction.
Okay we are on same page I will be getting a larger orphan. Most larger orphans are inclined to protect their “family”. That being said I would t put my orphan in a situation where it has to defend me that irresponsible. However it’s no secret that this world is crazy. I live in Texas, I’ve gotten threats for simply being vegan. I’ll also say I’m not home always I have a job, I do martial arts. The sole purpose of MINE wouldn’t be a protection orphan but it is a small factor. I was a bit more curios to see how vegan community would feel about guard orphans.
