    You cannot own a human being.

    Anymore. Humans can be amazing and very cruel.

    But yes, ask a veterinarian and they will tell you sadly why.

      Unless this was a case of USA defaultism, slavery still exists. In fact there’s more slaves today than ever before. 50 million slaves last I checked. Mostly because overall human population has obviously increased drastically too but I digress.

      Also USA constitution exempts prisoners so still okay in a limited capacity.

      Exactly, and when you could, it was also allowed to beat them to death, as long as they didn’t die immediately, but it took a day or two. Those are the rules of the bible.
