I am pretty sure the one thing that Slaver Hounds have never been described as by the sane is "adorable". Even the tamed ones.

It's like saying a Fedo is 'Cuddly' because all that brown goop it leaks is warm.

... now I sort of want to meet one.

Only it also seems like the only way to get the full experience is under uncontrolled conditions, which ...

... I'm unlikely to walk away from.

So maybe not.

Miniature Slaver hounds, on the other hand, are considered quite adorable I hear. A number of Ladies seem to own them.

That is a cruel assertion. I have raised my Syrikos Hound, Blondie, since she was but a pup and I would say she is a most adorable and affectionate beast. So cute.

You should see the trick she does where Veiki balances a pistol charge on her nose and makes her retrieve it on command.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

Nah, Veik doesn't bite, the slaver hound is perfectly safe.

I completely understand what it is that Ottom Ephesianos is trying to do here.


You see, by posting pseudotheological gobbledegook onto the IGS, it is an attempt to draw the attention of Imperial pilots, who would then, by taking the time to respond, not have the time to make the Minmatar Tribal Liberation Force collapse further.

The flaw in this plan, however, is that Amarr theological types, are by and large, not in the Crusade, and thus, genuinely have nothing better to do, than to waste Ottom's time with counterarguments.

Which makes Ottom respond, which takes his attention away from the militia wars, thereby making the whole plan backfire.


Also, feral slaver hounds are dangerous. Like, super dangerous.


Slaving born free humans would make one trigger happy. I assure you these statements in wisdom and logic are but warnings to those I share my history with and try to overcome.

My entire career as a pilot I have avoided slaving and have been outspoken as an Ancient Amarr blood relative against viewing my crew and our teamwork as enslavement. I have to harp on it twice as much as what is presented by the media because I am by blood Amarr. I consider the actions of slavers a curse for me to address. Not a torch to pick up.

The slaver hound is about as beastie as a poodle unless trained. Otherwise without training they are high energy high maintenance out door domesticated pets.

A hound is not a wolf.

A slaver hound has been bred for generations to maim, rip, shred, and kill whatever it's commanded to.

A poodle is a ******* pet dog.

They are not the same. Take your empty rhetoric into J-space and fly towards a blackhole.

Having survived encounters with slaver hounds in the past, I can confirm first hand that they're not nice.

I want to paint my ship Periwinkle.

I'll second what Mr. Mintor said.

Also, a dog of any breed is one of the animals that shares a high percentage of our genome, suggesting a common origin.

A slaver hound isn't.

It's a native animal of Syrikos V, and, unlike dogs, it's a vertical hunter. It likes dropping on things.

Us, for example.

From what I've been reading, me meeting a wild slaver hound would likely involve a pleasant walk followed by having something large drop out of the sky and rip my throat out.

I'll pass.

They have these special suites you can wear to prevent that, makes you look like a plump marshmallow... which would also be adorable.

Unless one can manage to use those... plump polymer suits around the neck and the head... They are useless.

I have seen many slaves attacked by hounds. Every time, they target the same point. It is a fascinating animal.

Achieving equality is the galaxies only means of continuation. It is a force that you could imagine is the age of the universe.

I too am against slavery. But that doesn't have anything to do with equality as the misconceived concept people often adopt.
It is possible to have equality between the rich and poor provided both have economic freedom. This is the equality we should be concerned because it’s the one that matters most.
So I'm against slavery not because of slavery as a moral error but because the slave doesn't have economic freedom to do whatever he wants with his labor force nor is capable to accumulate goods, and use them the way he likes.

Universe will always have imbalances because this is what drives it. Even if you could destroy the entire Amarr Empire you wouldn’t achieve the equality you are talking about.
