Before I was vegan I had a girlfriend who wanted an "emotional support cat". I was uncomfortable with the idea and resisted for a while but eventually we got a rescue cat. Then we broke up and I kept the cat. I love her and she's sleeping in her bed next to me on my desk as I type this. I'm one of probably hundreds of likely scenarios where a vegan ends up with a pet despite agreement with the ethical issues.
