There’s just one thing: where to leave your cat(s) and dog(s)? For dogs, look for a kennel that offers multiple walks a day plus play time (you may have to pay extra for some of these features). For cats, there needs to be a space separate from the dogs that provides ample room for them to move around. Board with a Vet or Farm.

However, the solution they have created, which harkens back to before industrialized agriculture, is simply to still raise animals for their flesh and secretions, and for profit, but to do it the old-fashioned way.
