This story clearly illustrates the 2nd reason that real (as opposed to consensual) slavery is always evil.
The 1st reason is because of what it does to the slaves.
The 2nd reason is because of what it does to the slave owners.
and
The 3rd reason is because of how it retards technological progress in society as a whole.
. . . . Notice that the Age of Enlightenment began after the Black Death had undermined the basis of the serf system by killing so many of all classes off.
As to the owners -- If rich men find it hard to get into heaven (as Jesus said), then how much harder for a man who raped 1 or 2 women every day to get into heaven?
I give it 5***** for that.
