Do Animals Like to be Pets?

ah, this chapter has a multitude of interesting lines. We start out the chapter with the warning that animals only like to be pets "if their owners know how to take care of them." The first example is the goldfish. Did you know that goldfish need air to breathe?
"If the water in your fish bowl isn't clean and fresh, your poor fish will have to keep poking their heads out of the water to catch a breath of fresh air."
That's a pretty exotic goldfish. Almost like a goldfish-dolphin hybrid. One wonders how fresh air correlates to clean water. If I wanted some fresh air, could I just stick my head into a bowl of clean water for the same effect?
We'll deal with some of the other jewels in other posts.
