Ok so lets say Aliens where to come and attack us tomorrow. After a long ass battle we lose they take us over and capture us.
Now to the question!. Would you be more happy to be their food or to be their pets?.
And no the is no 3rd option of running and fighting as in this case we have already done that and lost  .

If aliens have the tech to travel from light years away they would squash us out in a day. Sometimes when people talk about aliens, I don't think they understand how much more advanced they will be then us. They could be sitting right next to you and you wouldn't even sense there presence. Think about how much they would have to know to travel that far. We can't even get to mars. Our nearest star Alpha Centauri is 4 light years away. Meaning if you where traveling at the speed of light ( 186,000 miles per second or 670 616 629 miles / hour) you wouldn't make it there for 4 years. They would have to live very, very, very long or could have basically master there health and are pretty much immortal. Or they could have figured out how to bend time and space and use warp holes. These findings and the point that they have mastered space travel like this means they are on another level then us completely.
So they might genetically engineer us or who knows what but I suspect they might not even care about us at all. We would be so stupid to them, it's like you walking around and looking at every single ant on the ground. Either way, what ever they wanted to do, you wouldn't have much choice in the matter.

There are other scenarios possible, like a last ditch effort to save the species from a doomsday scenario (eg Stephen Baxter's Flood/Ark) or exploration by automated ships controlled via quantum teleportation
But yes, by the time they do manage to get here they'll probably have been observing us for quite some time, and will be prepared for anything. And it is extremely unlikely that an alien race will be around the same level of technology as we are, considering the rapid advancements in knowledge versus the age of the universe. We went from rubbing sticks together to beginner space explorers in a geological blink of an eye.

The aliens will have to be immune to earth Atmosphere. The amount of bacteria, viruses and diseases swarming all over the place would kill anything out of this world I think. That is our best defense. Otherwise they'll need suits. We can kill them with aids lol
|
actually since the aliens will have to be a completely different form of life, i doubtv that our viruses and deseases will affect them at all.
which also begs the question if we will even work as a food source for them.

Humans and all life on Earth evolved to combat against harmful bacteria and diseases for many years, so I doubt Aliens have our immunity that we evolved to be resistant against. If someone is diagnosed with hiv/aids, a simple cold can kill them, and it would kill the Aliens faster too.
