 House elves who want change! #2 JayMay ♥ Big, yellow duckie <3
Oh good, opponent! Shumeeta went up to the podium again to face Torin. "As far as yer first comeback is concerned, it doesn't stand because while one may call house elves 'servants' to satisfy one's own self, it won't be true because house elves are not paid. They are considered more like slaves than servants, because any 'hired maid or butler' would not only demand a fee, but also refuse to work if not paid. House elves don't have that choice, they're not paid an' they've been made to think it's wrong to ask for payment for what they do."
Loyalty what? "Even the most loyal animals, when mistreated, leave their masters an' mistresses," Shumeeta said. "An' house elves are an entire race with intelligence! Isn't it strange that when they're mistreated, instead of leavin' the people they're workin' for, they just maintain silence?"
"The thing is, your last point isn't valid because loyalty really isn't an excuse for continuation of abuse. Abuse, even if it isn't acknowledged, remains abuse. It's not right, it's not nice and people who can do something about it MUST take the initiative to eliminate it. That's why I call for change!"
