The pope recently admonished couples that choose to maintain pets rather than have children. He described them as selfish. Pope Francis is mistaken. In the case of many people, the world would be a much better place if their parents had chosen to get a pet rather than spawn them.

Let’s say Klara and Alois Hitler would have adopted a kitler cat rather than have little Adolf. Would World War II have happened?

What if Mary and Fred Trump would have had a pet snake rather than Donald?

Chris Christie’s parents could have purchased a Vietnamese Pot-bellied pig. If they had, there would have been fewer traffic jams in New Jersey. Would Christie be a regular on ABC News?
