Vegans wouldn't "Own" someone else. Plenty of vegans rescue other animals and take care of them as wards.

I personally don't use the word pet when referring to non-human animals in someone's care.

Why not? That's the exact scenario the word applies to.

Because I use the same word for human animals and non-human animals. I would call a foster kid my pet. I call them my ward or a ward of the state.
