We should ask them if they would prefer living with their dog families in their natural habitat to return to their original common form given existencial pressures or be automatically separated from their family at a very young age to live in your house as a slave.

    in their natural habitat

    Domesticated dogs do not have a "natural habitat".

    They have a mother and father and they have siblings. I myself have witnessed a happy dog family. This exists. Domesticated like African Americans were domesticated. Like the Chinese who built the railroad and the Mexicans who picked your fruits and made your train wagons. Domestic like women. Right.

    No. Domesticated as in purposefully bred over hundreds of years, to the point that they're basically a different species than they were before domestication.

    Tell me where in the world have you seen a wild pug. The damn thing can't even breathe, it would last 1 week alive in the wild.

    Stop breeding them? Sure. "Release" (that is, abandon) them into the wild? That's a death sentence.
