After all, it is appropriate to care for one's animals. - (Swordsmen of Gor, Chapter 28, Sentence #105)

One is not to intrude oneself, incidentally, between a whip master and his duty. Although one should show no concern for slaves, I felt sorry for them. They are, of course, to be understood as, and treated as, the animals they are, that goes without saying, but this does not mean that one should not be concerned for their health, comfort, and safety. After all, it is appropriate to care for one's animals. One should be concerned with the health, comfort, and safety of all one's stock, of whatever sort, even that which is well-curved and two-legged. To be sure, a typical husbandman is likely to be more concerned for the welfare of his kaiila than his female slaves, but then the kaiila is a far more valuable animal. But it is obvious that an animal which is well cared for is likely to provide a much better service and last longer than one which is ill fed, frightened, and abused. - (Swordsmen of Gor)
