It's not slavery, it's forced evolution. almost all dog species could not survive in the wild, you hear stories of wild dog packs, but most of the time they are living off of human society still, off of scraps, waste, other animals such as cats. If you were to release a group of dogs into a wild, there is a huge probability that they would not survive more than 1-2 generations at maximum.

again there is no way to prove this. Have you been a dog or cat? do you have experience of how it is to be a dog or cat? no.
All there is are "assumptions".


it was an example of other "wild" animals that bond with people very easily.



release poodles wild and i gurantee you that they will adapt in a generation or two.
There has been studies, and this is coming from someone who has raised dogs, cats, pigs, and have family that raise cows, chickens, horses, pigs, etc.

No they would not adapt they would die out. The only way dogs these days survive in the wild, is if they get accepted into a wolf pack. You can make a study of releasing a species of dog as a pack into the wild, but the study would have to be over the course of 10+ years. I have not seen 1 successful study of such a thing either. Find a case where a pack of dogs was loosed to the wilderness and managed to survive and adapt and not die out.

Let other wild animals bond with humans, that's fine, but don't fool yourself to thinking they bond easily(maybe not parrots) but they take a trained person with knowledge and training to make them bond with humans. It's not as if John Doe can walk out and tame some monkeys and tigers and have pets. Those are the people that end up getting hurt by their animals, killing their animals(putting them down counts) or giving them away/abandoning them. You see it in the news all the time.
