Poll: if you have you ever been in a situation where you wanted a pet but for some reason could not have one, what was the reason?

 

1.  I was a minor and my parent(s) wouldn’t allow it

2.  The place I lived in didn’t allow pets

3.  The cost of getting a pet or keeping a pet was too much for my budget at that time 

4.   It was a particular pet that wasn’t available anywhere I looked

5.  There were already other pets in the household, so the one I wanted wasn’t allowed

6.  I found out that I am allergic to that kind of pet, or that someone else in my household was allergic 

7.  My place was so small that there was not sufficient room for a pet to move around

8.  I didn’t know how to properly take care of the particular pet that I wanted

9.  Two or more of the above

10. None of the above/other answer.

    Reverse #1. I'm a parent who won't allow it because our kids are too young. 

    Our three tornadoes are too young, too hyped, too noisy, and too heavy-handed for a pet at the moment. Maybe later.
