lfd I don't think this is a problem of capitalism as such, it's just that most people besides yourself and other vegans don't have moral qualms about raising and eating/harnessing domestic animals.

He's not talking about eating and labor, he's talking about abuse. You know, like dousing a cat with gasoline and setting it on fire. ABUSE.
Personally, this is possibly my biggest problem with AC. In practically every civilized society, the torture of animals is a crime, but I don't see how AC can deal with this.

That's a lot more specific than the OP's "Specifically dealing with animals as ownable commodities in the AC worldview," and it sure seems similar to the hobo-killing argument to me.
