You could just use a robot dog! Then you could shoot it, stab it, violate it, and it would be ok! You wouldn’t call the cops, right? Because it’s not a real dog. It’s a robot dog. Indistinguishable from the real thing, of course, yelping from the pain of betrayal, but that yelping, see the dog is programmed to feel that. It’s just a program.

Now, the dog IS programmed not to like it, but it can’t actually feel any pain!
I will never ever stop watching that god damned clip. I post it frivolously.
