I think the post's intention is ambiguous, it does just say "if you're poor, you should not own pets". It's not clear if they just think all non-rich people shouldn't have pets, or if they're actually referring to an owner's ability to provide for material needs.

Yeah we should likely be reading the slop as 'non-rich people should focus on saving their money to be rich instead of caring for an animal with their money which they do have'. It's the conservative argument usually made.
