It would at least lead to more sum total animal neglect. I'm very lucky that the dog I'm caring for right now is old and has trouble walking more than half an hour every other day. If you dropped a Border Collie in my lap right now, I'd go fucking insane and the dog would rip my place apart from pent up energy and anxiety.

No. There is no reason to believe just having a pet will prevent suicide. The pet does not solve a single cause of the person’s despair.
