    Usually it’s more like “Doesn’t want to spend time and money on a pet” and/or “Doesn’t want to be sad when the pet inevitably passes on”

      The first one I get it, but the second… Then don’t anything, why live when there is eventually suffering? Thats just a sad and misserable way to think damn. And there is actually people reasoning like this, why 😭

      • I guess the reasoning is:

        Pets usually die before their owners do.

        In contrast, (human) children lives on and usually if things go well, parents never have to watch their kids die, and its kinda their “legacy”. Pet’s don’t really have much of a “legacy”, I mean other than working animals which can have a huge legacy of like maybe saving lives.

        (I’m not saying I agree, just explaining their views)
