The fact that animal companions tend to be treated as disposable by humans makes me rather ill.
Of course, in general, humans make me rather ill, so I suppose it comes as no surprise.
At any rate, mandating outdoor animals is irresponsible. Between fights, cars, sick people, disease, larger animals, etc. there are far too many ways that a domestic animal (especially a juvenile animal) could be harmed that I can't fathom why anyone, anywhere would think that's a good idea.
