Pets are usually a novelty, but sometimes they can be really useful for therapy, even if they're not service animals (which I assume would fall under the category of "working animals").
I don't think breeding is inherently wrong, but there are enough homeless animals that breeding is pretty pointless at this point, and it adds to the problem of stray and homeless animals. Plus, many of the types people have bred suffer as a result of their breeding. Persian cats are prone to breathing problems, kidney failure, and painful eye conditions, for example. It's a really shitty thing to do to animals just so you can have cats with weird goblin faces.
Is it normal to be against domestication of animals?
