What is wrong with owning a parrot or a lizard?

Not to mention that domestic dogs cannot live without humans. Cats, maybe, but dogs have grown too dependent on us.

And aside from that, pets have been proven to be therapeutic... I think I read somewhere that owning a pet reduces your chances of a heart attack by a significant amount.

Ugh...
