    It depends on what kinds of pets your talking about.

    It has been suggested by many notable biologists and behavioralists that domesticated animals would be in a sad state without human beings to care for them. Many of them would be killed by predators or diseases, or would not succeed in finding sustenance and shelter and would die of starvation or exposure. While these are risks for all animals, domesticated animals are more vulnerable to these threats as a result of their domestication.

    As for animals that are not considered domesticated, they would survive at higher rates, but once again, would be subject to the same threats.

    Animal loves to be slave no doubt, because animals love human being. The maturity of human being it likes. It will not depend for food to us, we are having them in our custody and we are taking away their freedom, So we are morally bound to give food and shelter.

    Domesticated animals have been put through so many years of human conditioning that they need humans more than other animals would.

    A domesticated animal that has already lived through it's adolescence dependent on humans would stand no chance in the wild.

    Well, it depends on how you treat your pets, but if you don't treat them with kindness, then PLEASE don't have any pets. Of course I provide for their needs, but even more they are my friends.
