Who said anything about it being against her will? All parties I've met are willing participant.
Murdering a dog is not acceptable either.
I'm not trying to demean anyone or cut down their lifestyle. They are all happy with their lives and I am happy for them.
Perhaps i have a more lenient view on being property. When you have to check with your husband all through out the day to let him know what you are doing and he becomes upset when you don't, when he tells you how to dress, and what to do everyday that is property to me.
Does it mean the wife is treated like trash? Abused? Belittled? No. But neither are dogs, cats, etc.
