Well, since I made the poll I had to add the last option about the fish.
I'm not much of an animal person. I have a fishtank, lovely light in a black corner of my appartment, and some nice plants and fish (when they are alive). I'm allergic to dogs and cats etc so we never had animals when I grew up. The allergic part is better than when I was a kid, but I can still live without animals so far
