Why do our pets live better than we do?

Think about it, we clean their house for them, provide them with food, utilities, don't charge them rent for a fully furnished house, they get full medical and dental insurance benefits, free ambulance service, free therapeutic massages, free transportation, don't get charged for entertainment expenses, don't have to worry about voting or politics, can lay around and sleep and not have to work an hour in their lives, only be there for us and love on us when we need their companionship.
--------------------
All the things you stated are true, but may apply to different kinds of pets. Like, if you were to take wild animals into consideration, then no, they don't have better lives than us because they're either endangered, or already extinct. Take a parrot for example, many people have them as pets but due to forest devastation in Africa, they're currently endangered because of loss of habitat. But you kind of answered your own question. We're the ones responsible for making their lives happy. Of course we can choose to either take good care of them, or make them miserable.
