you call people who don't want pets selfish. does that mean that people that don't*want* (your words in your post) children are selfish?

I love to see children with pets too, and in general I think they should have them,but it is only my business in my own house, not others. some just don't want them, others may not be allowed to have them in their home or apt. maybe others can't afford them and the children, should the children go without something so they can have a pet? if it were me and if I had children, and they really wanted one, I would get them one if it was practical.

it is just up to each person, like Karen said, to each their own.
