If you didn’t get my point the first time, I’m afraid you won’t get it.
Still, let’s give it a try.
I’m human, I do love my dog. I don’t consider it to be a table that has a 100€ price tag attached to it.
If someone stole my table, I’d be pretty pissed of because he stole me money.
If someone steal my dog, I’m pretty pissed off because I do LOVE it.
when I find my dog back, I’d be happy, not because I found back my 100€ worth of dog but because it’s a living being that I missed emotionally.
Hopefully you get the difference. I know some people who consider their animals like raw meat, 2€ a day worth of food + chained 24/24 to a tree = home guardian. I personally find that lunatic in 2026.
Think it’s a cultural thing. When I see how globally Americans treat their dog, and you’re right to point out it’s a property according to law, because that’s how they treat them. It’s like the dog is a table or a chair, and if you’re not happy with it you abandon it like you would throw away a broken chair.
