Well, the thing is this: pretty much all the reasonable, possible critters (i.e., not tortoises or elephants) live a tiny fraction of the human lifespan. It is absolutely inevitable that they will go, and some will leave a hole that can never be filled by another. But the alternative is to have never known them at all. So what then? Never know them? Never try? Or have several special years, then crash and burn?
No choice is right, it's what's right for you. It doesn't change my love for animals, I just don't want to have any personally for quite a few reasons, for their welfare as much as my own.
And yes, we are off topic.
