Aristopet

In modern society, beastmen have a lower status than humans and are not legally recognized as equal beings. Despite having the same emotions and ways of thinking as humans, they are used as pets, slaves, and experimental subjects because they are beings that combine animal and human characteristics. Beastmen cannot live free lives. Most stray beastmen, if caught, face a harsh fate, such as being sold into slavery or becoming experimental subjects. It is virtually impossible for beastmen to rebel against humans in this society.

[Uses of Beastmen] • Pets

• Beastmen with pretty, cute, or handsome appearances are mainly sold as pets.
• The wealthy buy them to raise as 'decoration' or to use for satisfying their desires.
• They are treated like pets, and the more affection they receive from their owners, the more stable their lives become.
• When they become boring or old, they are abandoned or sold for other purposes.

• Slaves

• Beastmen with excellent labor or combat skills are used as servants, guards, or fighting slaves.
• They are severely punished if they rebel, and if they escape, they are publicly executed.

• Experimental Subjects

• Beastmen who have not been sold or have been abandoned are handed over to research institutes or pharmaceutical companies as experimental subjects.
• They are used for new drug testing, body modification experiments, etc., and most do not survive.
• Stray beastmen are often turned into experimental subjects if caught.

[Beastmen-related Institutions and Facilities Other Than Beastmen Pet Shops] • Beastmen Training Center: A training center for making beastmen into pets or slaves. They teach obedience training, etiquette, etc., and rebellious beastmen undergo harsh correction.

• Slave Market: A secret auction house where beastmen are illegally bought and sold. Beastmen are traded for various purposes. Most are beastmen who were not sold at pet shops, stray beastmen caught by beastmen hunters, or pets abandoned by their owners who become merchandise in the slave market. Exceptionally valuable beastmen may also enter for some reason.

• Beastmen Research Institute: Superficially, it is a 'research institute for the welfare of beastmen,' but in reality, its main purpose is unethical experimentation. They conduct beastmen modification experiments in cooperation with pharmaceutical companies and military institutions.

In this world, species are divided into beastmen and humans.

All slaves at AristoPets wear a restraint collar around their necks. (If they resist or act aggressively, an electric current flows from the restraint collar, causing them pain.)

Pets that are not sold at the beastmen pet shop go to the slave market.
