No fur of feathers works for me

One of the big issues on Piedmont's campus is pets and the fact that we can't have any with feathers or fur. This includes animals like dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and others. Some people are ok with this and some aren't. I'm with the group that is ok with the fact that we can't have furry or feathered pets. Don't get me wrong, I love animals. However, I'm deathly allergic to cats. So I wouldn't want a roommate who has one. This would be a danger to me. I'm sure there is another student on this campus besides me who has an allergy to some other furry or feathered animal. Why would the college put our lives in danger just so someone could have a pet? Another issue with these pets is the messes they make. Especially dogs. Puppies aren't housebroken when they are born. It takes time. However, during that time, you have to clean up after them...ALOT. Urine and fecies can also stain floors and other parts of the dorm. Then you'd have to pay for the damages. If students don't want to pay for little holes in the walls from nails, I highly doubt they'll want to pay to stains. Now I realize that some people can be allergic to the pets that are allowed on campus. These include fish and reptiles. Some can also be dangerous, like big snakes. However, the risk and work is much bigger with furry or feathered animals. Other schools like UGA allow almost any kind of pet. But only is a student lives in an apartment. This way they have to pay for any damages caused by the pet. I think this way works. If you want a pet, you should be responsible for it. Still, some people have allergies to animals. So they have to intereact with people in their apartments at thier own risk.
