On the other hand, why should there even be the concept of a "beast of burden"? The real question is "what does ethical interaction with animals look like?", and PETA seems to have taken the position that there is practically no such thing. To the PETA fanatics, any deviation from an animal's natural life is cruel. To an extent, they have a point - where mankind once relied on animals to provide capabilities humans do not possess, technology has now progressed to the point where there is little need for domesticated animals.
I guess that at least would make their killing of animals consistent with their ideology. For all of these species that only exist because of humans, they have no natural life, so the only solution is to eliminate the species. I still completely disagree with it, but maybe that's their end goal.

As a community we've always been skeptical of vaporware, especially when a lagging company announces vaporware in response to an innovator releasing a tangible product. Can we hold android to this standard?
You mean something like supporting full-disk encryption, which I enabled on my tablet a couple years ago? If I remember correctly, Android has had full-disk encryption since 4.0, maybe even 3.0.
22+22 is no longer 44. its now 40 (plus 4)
By your reasoning, 22+22 never was 44, it was 4 plus 40.
...like accessing memories and implanting them is soon going to be possible.
I know, it's about time, isn't it? Humanity has been held back so much over the past millennia without any way to record in our brains information about observed events and then access them at some later time. Just imagine all of the incredible scientific breakthroughs we'll be able to accomplish once we manage this long-overdue feat.
