As a (soon to be) dad who doesn't want any more pets, it's not cause I don't like animals. I love animals... maybe too much, cause I just don't know how many more I can bury.
Maybe I need to get a pet that will outlive me. Something cuddly with a lifespan of like 60-80 years
Mammals mostly don't live that long and reptiles aren't the most cuddely. But sloths or primates can live to 50 years. And some birds can outlive you easily with cockatoos getting to 120 years occasionally
