ABC has "feed; groom; keep" but I don't think it is really as specific as "feed" or "groom".

animals ~
因為豢養環境惡劣,...
子女豢養流行寵物的要求

people ~
(1) 他們半抱琵琶半遮面,一面做小批評一面示好,結果養成一種被豢養的心態,他們小心翼翼,唯恐
禍及自身。
They keep themselves half out of sight, offering small criticisms while covering themselves by
fawning. They've developed the mindset of those who are looked after, and are incredibly cautious
lest disaster strike them personally.

(2) 走狗 = 比喻受人豢养并帮着主人干坏事的人

(3) 除了女性外遇增加的趨勢逐漸成形外,以往楚楚可憐、被多金成功男人「豢養」的第三者形象,如
今也已大幅逆轉。
In addition to the trend toward more active female participation, observers have also noted that the
familiar sugar daddy role now has a female counterpart - the "sugar mama"!

(4) 因為未能自立,反過來還要接受上一代的豢養,對於經歷10年不景氣的日本來說,猶如落井下石。

"to keep (a spy, lackey etc) in one's pay" ~
城管部门是政府豢养的流氓团伙。
他招认早在一九六八年就是东亚国政府豢养的间谍。
尤其是县政府豢养的警察、警备队、差役这班恶狗,他们怕下乡,下乡也不敢再敲诈。
