Humans, unlike the animals that human keep as pets, are capable of complex speech, so I’d bet that treats would be marketed towards the humans themselves, so that the humans then push their keeper to buy those treats. Sorta like how lots of ads for toys are marketed towards kids, because advertising works better on them and then they’ll go and push their parents to buy them.

DancingBear,

We can speak, but can our insectoid overlords understand our speech

Probably, if they hang around us and study us that often

interdimensionalmeme,

They just like the male’s milky secretion’s taste, the annoying meat flapping noises and whistles, not so much.

This human horn isn’t working!

blind3rdeye,

If we are separated from our parents shortly after birth, and grow up in isolation from other humans - then we would not learn to talk anyway. Note that that’s what happens with most pets that humans keep. Maybe we get to walk past some other humans in the park a couple of times a week, but that’s it.

DancingBear,

I’m so sorry, he’s a humper. We haven’t had him castrated yet. (translated from insectoid chirping noises.)

Are you assuming pet animal speech is not complex because you can't understand it?

No, I’m suggesting it’s not complex because they don’t have brains set up for it. That isn’t to say that animals don’t communicate, they do, but the concepts one can convey via their communication styles have limits

The concepts we can comprehend, surely.

Maybe dogs convey the equivalent to the works of 樂天 to one another via smells.

Well my owner is definitely getting his money back or starting a class action suit for false advertising.
