But, if freedom means that you get to do whatever you wish to do, do you think wild animals are much freer than us, humans?
Are we just kidding ourselves as the freest civilized animal? or the wild ones have achieved freedom a lot before us?

In the wild, deer have to fight off wolves, and wolves have to be able to find and kill deer or other animals.

In domesticity, cattle have to eat what they're provided and will die when the farmer feels it should happen.

Living as a human requires we follow the rules of society (as is also true of some other species, from bees to elephants). That causes us to lose some freedoms, but overall makes our lives better.
