It's a mental illness promoted by the media to lower White birth rates.

Pet keeping is an extremely smart way to take advantage of the empathy White people have and use it against them.
Pets are useless parasites that drain Whites of resources they could use to raise children.
They also enable antisocial attitudes that prevents Whites from finding a mate. The proverbial "cat lady", but this is a problem with men too.

Pets have single-handedly caused more harm to White birth rates than all forms of racemixing combined.
