Nitpick: sentient is not a synonym for sapient. The distinction may be a lost cause at this point. Or maybe the terms are can be salvaged from being forever conflated.

I'm not sure if it's possible to be sentient and in the same time "built to X". I would expect such creatures to have much more potential and enslaving them, even if they like it, means banning them from exploring what else can they do.
