So permanently abandon a vulnerable creature because GP's spouse can't take Claritin for a few hours?

I'm being hyperbolic, but still the "pets (or kids) are a choice" argument falls apart after a moment's scrutiny.

How does this fail after a moments scrutiny? Pet owners have an alternative: put them in cargo. People are categorically more important than pets. To suggest anything else is insulting, frankly.

(Note: putting kids and pets in the same category seems a bit bold.)
