    If you adopt a pet from anywhere other than the street and pay for/participate in all all the things they need/bring them to vets whose livelihood includes participation in the broader animal domestication industry then yes you do.

      Ok so to follow your comment.

      1. Go find an abandoned, stray animal in the street.
      2. Refuse to take it to the vet because paying them means “participation in the domestication industry”, maybe the dog is ill and malnourished from the street, so you would prefer the dog dies slowly of illness
      3. Cant buy appropriate dog food for the dog from a petshop, have to feed it human food. Which has to be very restricted vegan diet. Which will kill the dog as well.
      4. Cant go buy a toy, or a bed, or anything even remotely dog friendly
      5. Cant buy a collar and lead, to then walk the dog. I guess you would prefer just a rope or chain tied around their neck?
