If you look at the stats, people are actually waiting later in life to procreate and the numbers have been going down over the years.

Also not all children are monsters that don't know how to act around animals. I go back to your own personal experience with your kitty as a kid. Were you a monster around it? Did your parents hold your hand and teach you how to act appropriately around animals? There are some children that are born to be animal lovers just like you.
