But they still are.

Not under E's definition

Also, the term for animals being made to do labor/make food is livestock. Not slaves.

@BabygottBach They're not forced to do anything or under your control, they're only prisoners

@Amoviet To me they are slaves.

Under my definition you're under the control of another human

You can force them to do anything

you merely choose not to, as the master, to force them to work

and if you work to survive and have a boss you're a slave.

So this person doesn't need to work to survive

And I'd rather be a slave than just working to survive with no direction

but is under the complete control of her master.

The term slavery implies that it’s something with the mental capacity of a person (Sentience and sapience)

Is this person a slave?

Most slaves had to work or they'd die

Animals are just animals.

And we are animals as well.

You know quite well what I mean.

Is this person a slave? You see, you're weaseling now

No I don't.

I said it before and I’ll say it again:

We're animals with a society and a very social language

You gave a definition of a slave, I gave you a counterexample, and now you're weaseling. Most slaves, bullshit

@BabygottBach No its a prisoner.

You gave a definition of all slaves, it needs but one counterexample to render it false

Slavery applies to things that have sapience/sentience. A tree isn’t a slave because it gets chopped down. An animal isn’t a slave because it’s made into food. It’s resources and livestock.

You can't force a prisoner to do anything.

You can only restrict their movement

Exactly

But that's not the case here

and putting someone in a cage is doing that

The master can do anything he wants to the person

slaves were never put in cages.

?

then why did you say so?

But I still consider it that, even though some other advance race could do the same @Amoviet

How do you think they transported slaves?

Slaves were put in cages.

Merely being in a cage doesn't make you not a slave

"slaves were never put in cages."
"Slaves were put in cages."
