Some reason why I wouldn’t want to get a pet would be, pets can be messy, you have to clean up after them everywhere including your home or out in public. You must make sure they have food and water access. If you have a dog you must walk it or let it out to use the bathroom. If you have a cat you must make sure they have a litter box for it’s business, you also have to clean the litter box and dispose of its droppings appropriately. Any pets involving a cage like a bird, ferret, guinea pig, hamster, etc. their cages have to be cleaned. It takes a lot of responsibility and time to take care of a pet. And not to forget about food for them, food costs money for them so be prepared to buy food. Something you must also be prepared for is the vet, if your animal is sick or is hurt you’ll have to go to a vet or you could ask someone what you can do to help but it would be better to see a vet. With a vet that also cost’s money and appointment scheduling is also a big responsibility, if you forget about the appointment you will have to reschedule, and you should be on time to appointments. As stated before it takes lots of responsibility, time and effort to have a pet.
