May I whip out the Morality Lesson Plan since I'm against non-consensual domestication of any kind EB?
Hmm...that would make for an interesting debate sometime...is any domestication consensual, including our own...and could we function at all without it. Prep that lesson plan, you! I'll sit in on the class.

As for the appeal, why do perfectly normal, calm, rational, loving people slow down to stare at car wrecks? We enjoy things that are beyond the norm, are fascinated by them.
