[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he really wants a pet, he should get a pet, unless household members are allergic.

The other argument is ridiculous. Millions of people on this earth grow up without pets because they live in high-density living quarters and the prevailing culture is not conducive to pets.

Absolutely, he is an adult and he should have a right to have a dog or any other pet if no allergy.

He is also right about the kids growing up with pets are much happier and emotionally stable and fulfilled.
Some parents are jealous, yes, unfortunately, of an affection and bond of a child with the pet.

As to high density living quarters? Seriously, you can have a cat when you live in one bedroom place or rent a room, tons of people do. If not a cat then another small pet. Dog is a bit more of a production but much more health rewarding because of the walks and  higher level of the  emotional response.

Number of [b]households [/b]in  US owning...:

dogs:
48,255,413

cats:
31,896,077

If you consider total number of household in use at  120M that is a whole lot of households with pets,
consider lots of those are single people, elderly .. etc. So that is really a whole lot people owning
at the minimum dog or cat. Then you have other pets.

Your blanket statement PP is really not a solid argument.
