IMO, they don't, other then the Snakes I own I also have 2 cats and a dog and they show the atmost affection towards us showing they aren't miserable. my wife's dog goes absolutely crazy with excitement and joy when she walks in from work and sleeps by her side every night, a miserable animal would not show this type of affection and would most likely be recluse and not want to interact.

One of the cats (my cat) is the same way. when I get home he is right by my side telling me how much he missed me and how mad he is that I left him to go to work (of course my interpretation of it.) He always sleeps by my head and pures till he falls asleep.

These domestic animals show their appreciation for us and unlike people keep an open mind and most time indefinitely forgiving of us.

So long story short I feel PETA and all the other animal rights organizations are speaking what they want, not what the actual animal wants. These animals aren't our properly but part of our family.

Just my 2 cents
