You are right, you are offensive.
I wonder how many people on this site are alive because they have a pet?
I wonder how many people rely on their pet for love, the only thing in their life that loves them?
The only love they've known that was not abusive, or destructive
I wonder how many people go without just to be able to feed and care for their pet(s)?

I will raise my hand high because, many years ago, I was one of those people.
And today I am grateful that I can help those that still are
