It's depressing how many people need them because human companionship is lacking in their lives.

I don't think there's anything wrong with having pets or enjoying their company but it's a poor substitute for the real thing. Your pet will never be able to give you rides when your car is getting fixed,listen to you vent or lend you money in a pinch. As i get older, i come to value human relationships more and it makes me sad to see how many people don't have many good ones

Idk how to describe it exactly. I think most people can take a guess. People often dote on them or rely on them for emotional support as they would a person.

I know for a lot of older people or people that live alone, it gives them much needed companionship and I'm glad they have that, I just think it's kinda sad
 
I didn't read your long post but i agree that people get pets for the sake of getting pets with no idea or interest in taking care of them which leads to neglected animals.

Not really any good solution to this. Majority of people are shitty, and even if you force people together. They will still feel lonely and more miserable. You have services with social workers that visit you, but that's not a genuine relationship.
 
What kind of bum are you that you need a ride and money lent to you? Stop worrying about people's pets and get a job.

I would argue that pitbulls are worse honestly. I’ve seen way too many videos of seemingly normal pitbulls going ballistic for no reason and mauling their owners beyond recognition. They are one of if not the most needlessly aggressive animal I’ve ever seen, I mean even hippos and otters aren’t that evil and otters are necrophiliacs by choice.
 
I agree kind of. Human friends can give you companionship that isn't dependent on your need to take care of them. Animals can only provide a "parent/child" relationship. And that's great.... and a lot of people thrive off that. I love my animals. And I view them as my children. But a lot of people do lack adult, mature, relationships that are stimulating. No matter how much you love your dog - it's never going to give you companionship outside the level a small infant child could. It's always going to be dependent on you. Where adult, human relationships you are equals.
 
A well-trained dog is more than companionship. They can pick up on a lot of subtle cues that you'll miss. My dog is more than my friend. He guards me against nerve gas attacks by the Central Powers.

You need to get out more, if you believe that other people are worth spending time with. Majority are beyond stupid, only believe what is put in front of their nose, they have no imagination, and not even a skerrick of thought about anything beyond what they believe is their identity.

Even wild birds are smarter than most people.
 
The vast majority of people are growing increasingly bitter and narcissistic, which brings with itself inexorable negative fixations against all sorts of things, most prominently against other human beings. They have too much hostility against people to form lasting, meaningful relationships, and keeping pets is their primary substitute for this. Pets have a lot less abstract intelligence than humans and generally have a child-like, submissive nature, and are therefore much easier to control, abuse and neglect.
