I really like people trying to be smart here by showing they don't give a shit about their pets.
If you can't have more than one pet, and cannot be most of the day with him, then yeah, don't get a pet. Just like you shouldn't have a kid if you spend 12+ hours per day away from them. That's basic, common sense.
The fact that you don't care about animal well-being, not even of your own pets that are depending fully on you, isn't something that you should be sassy about.
Maybe ask yourself why you felt the need to defend animal abuse, no?
Not anyone's fault your take is rigid and off-putting.
Yeah ok, I don't want to know your stances on other various social subjects, if for you caring about another sentient being is "rigid and off-putting".
That's no loss to me, good luck bro
