>>46971725>Animals don't work on constructionI assume you mean the actual construction portion, because animals have absolutely been used for carrying materials, flattening land, etc. Regaurdless, it seems to me like companies are using pokemon as tools, as you would a work animal. Unless you are saying wild pokemon gain paid employment, which I have not seen.
If by "the most important sports" you means pokemon battles, that is just effectively dog/cock fights, which is a real thing, though I suppose you are no issuing commands in that.
Work animals wear/are treated like slaves. Don't see a difference here.
