I think it's a false equivalence. A human child is not the same thing as a pet animal. Framing the issue purely in terms of how much damage potential they have seems to be dismissing that distinction for no good reason.

dismissing that distinction for no good reason

Any reason is a good reason to dismiss that distinction. Pets are family. We don't love them less than human family, or at least decent people don't.

Still, if like takes a shit on you and you have to give up your pets, that's a little less traumatic than losing your kids.

All I'm hearing is you're the kind of monster who'd abandon a family member when things get hard.

"Help control the human population, have your children spayed or neutered." (/s)

Maybe we shouldn't dismiss the distinction so readily.
