Why do people have pets?
Cannot they get dates,
or are they too ugly or bored?
Why do some people get
pets if they cannot take care of them?
[Rhetorical.]

well, theres more to just a pet. its alive and kicking. its like saying "why do people want kids?" You'll never know until you have one, and when you get a dog, you just want more. its more then something to play with and get rid of when you get tired. its more like a human being.

Why do people have pets?
People get/obtain pets for many reasons:
For one thing, many people enjoy the non-judgemental friendship, companionship and unconditional love that pets offer.
Other people enjoy caring for pets because it helps to bring out the natural nurture instinct we all have psychologically. Pets can also help a person live a longer, more enriched life
that may even help a person's mental and medical state to some degree.
Parents may buy pets for children to help them learn positive qualities that include caring for others selflessly and responsibility.
There are also those that simply understand just how precious this world and the beings that live in it are. They love and respect the many beauties that animals bring.
Ugly/bored/dateless:
What the hell does being ugly/bored/dateless have to do with getting a pet?
Generally when people can't get dates, it's because they have a crappy attitude on life, a low self-esteem, or are mentally off somehow. I don't see how this question correllates at all with owning/loving a pet.
Why do some people get pets if they cannot take care of them?
Because some people are irresponsible, and refuse to properly research owning a pet or learning about the pros/cons of the species they own.
People who don't take care of their animals, are generally impatient, disassociative, and just plain irresponsible.

Ur talking two different subjects. Having a pet has nothing to do with getting a date. People have dogs because they get the unconditional love and companionship and trust and loyalty
that only a dog gives freely. Like learning to drive a car, people should be required to obtain a learners permit and given a test on how to care for a pet before they can own one.
There`s more to a dogs life than being chained to a backyard doghouse. Hope that answers ur question.

I have pets because I love animals, not because Im ugly or cant get a date. Thats an understatement. Lots of people have animals because they are great company and best companions. Dogs are known to bring great comfort when we are stressed, just by stroking their coats, they can sense when we are not well and when we are ok. Even though they cant speak, they still mans best friend.
I really dont know why people get animals if they cant take care of them, I guess some people gain great joy from hurting something that cant speak for itself. I know there people out there who cant look after themselves but take the great responsibility of having pets, makes me quite angry. They really should sort themselves out first before ruinning a poor animals life and bring it down with them!

Man, I feel SO sorry for you! If you've never known the joy of owning a pet, you have missed out on something great. But with your attitude, you probably shouldn't have pets...
People get pets for many, many reasons, not all of them good. Some people who can't care for them get pets because they are too STUPID to know better. Some get pets because 'it seemed like a good idea at the time.'

hmmm i dont know where you from but where I am from you dont get a dog based on if you can get a date or not, unless you are sick in the head and want the pet for a bad reason, in that case you need to be checked in to a clinic for that.
And as far as people not being able to take care of pets they get, well they think they can at the time.

The truth to your question lies behind your uneducated mind. If I were in charge of this web site I'd make sure you could never post another question even more so a question that you try to turn into a poem.
What I think you are really asking is why you can't you get a date and why you can't seem to take care of your lame poems. Stop trying to blame other people for your problems and stop worrying about what other people do when you should be more concerned as to why you would post this type of question!

I hate to break the news to you, but it sounds like you can't have a life or a serious fulfilling relationship if you are on the internet asking rhetorical questions that have no bearing to your life. I've always had pets and I am pretty, had many interests, dates and now a husband and good job. And I still have pets whom I love and they love me.

Because pets are lovely. Pets aren't instead of people. It's another thing. Why do people go to foreign countries? There are many really beautiful places in their homeland. Because it's another thing. It's like why do people have pets. I know many lovely person who has animals.

People have pets like dogs because as others say "Dogs are man's best friend." People don't get pet to relieve boredom
