In actuality....severe allergies that lead to "Asthma", or narrowing of the brochial tubes, and can cause someone to actually die. Nothing is worse than gasping for breath and not being able to breathe. Long term exposure to the allergen also permanently damages the lining of the brochial tubes, making them less and less efficient. It's like drowning...very slowly...
. I would NEVER wish that on an another human being...much less an innocent child. If I even heard of someone keeping a pet in a household with a severely allergic child...I would call DCFS...and report them for Child Abuse.
We all cherish our pets...but I think any reasonable, logical person would concede that they do NOT replace humans beings. And I wonder just how fast the word "disposable" would be redefined, were you lying in your bed struggling to breathe and wondering if you would die that day.
