Where did you find this information? Certainly not in the HP books 
where such terms as "enslavement" and "slaves" are freely used. As for 
Kreacher I distinctly remember DD at the end of OotP saying that he 
was "enslaved" by the Black family. That doesn't mean that he was 
captured in the wild, but neither has it implied a voluntary service.
