Well my pet is perfectly safe and well cared for. I give it what love and affection it will accept because it's a living being that should be treated with compassion. I actually go out of my way to pay attention to the wretched beast a more than anyone else in my household and it likes me better than my mate (who ironically is the one keeping it in our house). You assumptions are pretty bold, that my pet isn't safe and that it doesn't live a pretty great life. But it's what I expect from people who can't relate to my desire to not have a pet that I don't want.
I apologize I didn't mean to imply that your home wasn't safe for your pet. I meant that if an alternative can be found, that is safe, that could be a possibly better option because it could get more love. I just don't like judging a living things worthiness based off of the personal happiness I receive from it. I understand that you don't want to have something that you don't want. But whether I agree with getting rid of it because you don't want it, or learning to want it or bond with it is our point of disagreement.
