Quote: "If it was intelligent enough to understand what I want of it

have a problem with it having non-working wings."
You just contradicted yourself LFS, You just said you'd want it to be
very intelligent, thus intelligent to not run away if it's being well
cared for because it'd be smart enough, yet you want to trap it anyways.
That makes no sense. If it's capable of equal mentality, it's considered
adopted, NOT a pet, meaning having equal rights including the right to
choose wither or not it wants to stay with you. If it's smart enough to
be an equal, it shouldn't have it's wings disabled, that's considered
cruelty. There is no valid reason for doing so.
