Well, we (own) are responsible for our skin kids and that isn't slavery.
I'd love to see a change from dogs being viewed as property, as it might put more bite in animal welfare laws. There could very well be a standard of care established, which would give law enforcement more authority to take animals that aren't being properly cared for, from irresponsible owners....just like kids.
