I don't like #pets, and I don't understand the concept of keeping pets in urban environments.
Very few species are adapted to live well in an apartment, right? Some cat breeds, rodents, what else?
It always seemed cruel to me.
@tripu mostly a feeling thing science types might not get, or people u0se as counter balance to computers and robots which stimulate all but a few things a (and lack of positive humanity overall) with a small mammal (that doesn't talk back) can more-humanly provide some missing things (interaction etc).
I agree on some thing especially in apartments if not outside but as for feelings it's personal thing...
For a bad example much like asking 'why do people play with computers in an apartment mostly' as a kind of different comparison (not serious) but shows how screwed things can be or just for many unsaid purposes or "social' things served (which maybe aren't really in the end).
