Why is that? I've found that if you approach the subject with a rational argument and plenty of facts, they cave pretty quickly.
Pros to owning a tarantula:
Takes up minimal space
comes in a variety of colors options
No smell or noise
Water and feed them once a week. Once they get a bit of size you can feed them as infrequently as once a month and that's perfectly Ok for a lot of species.
Cons:
Idk...? I can't think of a valid reason why EVERYONE doesn't own at least one T. They're just so cool and it's fun to educate people when you tell them you have one!
