You have a phobia about animals. They’re not all scary.
Pets are literally proven to be beneficial for your health.
The unconditional love from a pet melts my fucking heart.
It teaches responsibility, especially for younger children.
It teaches you to be gentle
Not saying people have to adopt rescue animals but knowing that that animal would have likely been put to death is a sad/joyous feeling, after you realize that you literally saved their life and gave them a good and loving home.
You’re less likely to be burglarized if the criminal sees a big ass barking dog in the window screaming at them.

Other reasons I’m too lazy to think of.
