IMPORTANT world-building questions [discussion]
9 years ago
General
Hello again.
We've recently added the official ages of our heroes to their database entries, both old and young versions. Feel free to check them out!
I would also like to apologize for perhaps jumping the gun on the "civil war" idea. There's still so much of our universe to reveal, and it's just too early to be talking about it all coming together. I soon hope to remedy that with the introduction of the side story "Fire Fox", and perhaps another story too. We're now at the point in "S.U.P.E.R." where new villains will start popping up as well, beginning with the next chapter/issue, which has begun the roleplaying process.
I will be losing my main source of internet access tomorrow, so before that happens I'd like to address an important logistical issue that's coming up in our story. It's just a few chapters before what I'm talking about takes place, so I would quickly like to gauge opinions and start a discussion on a certain subject to help me figure things out.
In a world that consists entirely of anthropomorphic animals (no humans), what creatures can be kept as pets? Are pets even ethically possible in such a world?
Also, what creatures would Zoos ethically have on display, if any? Can zoos still ethically exist?
I have an idea involving these things in a few chapters/issues, so I would appreciate any and all opinions that you all can provide. There's no right or wrong answer; just tell me how you feel about these questions. Thank you.

Basically, I think it boils down to this question: can the ferals at some point in the future become sentient and self aware in the same manner as the anthros through natural means?
