You take it too personally, I don't tell you to get a pet if that's what you believe. However, yes, you are wrong about "freedom" of those animals for the elements I already brought, and because of what I suppose to be a high level of athropomorphism.
I prefer small dogs easy to house train, clean. Dogs with fur not hair. You can take them mostly every place. Their good at letting, their master someones coming.
No matter if it's raining or very cold, they still go outside
Birds have a habit of sings any time, you got to get the cage clean or it smells.
House cat, even if they have a place to do their business in the house. When there done will drag their ass across the carpet or chesterfield.
