I believe that people who value relationships with animals over humans are dysfunctional to the point of requiring psychological therapy. CMV

I've had discussions with people that say they prefer the company of animals over humans because people are mean-spirited and evil and animals can never be that way.  They give money to animal rescues instead to charities that help humans.  I find those beliefs sick and potentially dangerous and I think those people need professional help.

It has been psychologically proven that pets do in fact make humans happier. For a lot of people, especially lonely people, if you've noticed, pets fulfil and replace their desire for human companionship. These animals eat with them, run their errands with them and even sleep with them. In the end, they essentially become part of the family, becoming immutably associated as an important entity in their lives. So from a psychological standpoint, one might argue that the unconditional love and support that pets give to their owner might be the extent of the companionship those owners have, or will, receive. 

With that being said, these people don't need professional help, but rather healthy relationships from people that care about them.
