Animals belong to an urban environment and they will always be here since people need a piece of living nature close to them. House plants are not enough - one needs a living creature. What are the places for getting them? The easiest way would go to a pet shop and purchase a suitable animal; unfortunately there are no cats nor dogs so one has still go to some gardener's market and buy illegally a puppy or a kitten from a random seller.
