(4,507 posts)those selfish fuckers obviously are the last people who should be populating this earth with more of their kind.
First of all, children who grow up around animals are less sensitive to allergies.
Second of all, believe me, the animal would much rather have less room to roam daily (if you need to portion off your space) than be suddenly without a home.

I think there are better articles than the above, these are just two I found quickly.
One of my friends has a friend who has zero compassion for animals. He wanted his girlfriend to get rid of her cat (for multiple reasons, all of which I thought sucked). We had a lengthy subway ride from Harlem all the way down to the lower East Side and it got heated, as I basically told him that I thought he was a POS.
I saw my friends the other night (they make sure me and this other guy are never in the same place) and they said he still calls me, "cat guy." I said that they should let him know that I call him "douchebag."
