"The relationship between a pet and an owner is an inherently limited one, both by simple realities of cognition and by the animal’s status as property. DOGTV is born from the same loveless system of dehumanization as most other products today, a flawed component in a machine that’s increasingly inclined to use our bond with dogs to define and enforce new inhumanities. It was never for the dogs. Like most non-essential pet products, it exists for the owners, those that feel insecure in their relationship to their pets, hoping that mutually consuming enough content will fundamentally deepen and secure their connection. To make a very long story short, money can certainly help in finding love, but it still cannot buy it, even from a dog."

Hilarious and disturbing. And encyclopedic. Thanks.
That’s the trifecta I typically shoot for, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed!
The brown.edu link is broken, I need to know how the pet food lords killed Allende that's CRAZY
They had a chicken feed processing plant down there that was apparently one of the first American companies expropriated.
