So reciprocation is what makes something right? We have no moral responsibilities towards those who can not re-pay us at a later date?

aslo...what the hell are you going to do with all these animals? they aren't natural at all...and turning them loose would be an act of mass cruelty. The final chapter of animal captivity would have to be a mass slaughter, and probably the elimination of some species that could not live in the wild.

It would not have to be a mass slaughter. Return to the wild those who we can reasonably expect to survive. Those who we have rendered unable to fend for themselves due to generations of artificial selection, we can allow them to live out the rest of their lives. Or we can perhaps justify eating them, as a means to achieve the end of widespread suffering.
